Program Proposal

Possible Points 30
Children need different outlets to express themselves and to harbor individual learning abilities. It has been proven that different afterschool programs have given children the help that they need to flourish in difficult times. My proposal will focus on an intervention program where children will be able to stay afterschool to harbor constructive learning and activities. Intervention is the best possible way to help children from all different backgrounds and challenges.
This proposal will focus on children with behavioral issues. Early theorists thought that people were the product of the situations they were in. Gesell believed that the child is a product of their environment (Crain, 2011). Gesell’s maturational theory will provide a background for this new afterschool program because of its beliefs. The effects of maturation are contrasted with those of the environment. Gesell believes that is it counteractive to teach children things ahead of time, thinking that it could harbor development. This program will look at behavioral issues that are starting to develop in young children and help to change them into more productive behaviors.
Children also are thought to learn best in social situations. According to Bandura (1971), social learning theory is based on observational learning that is best accomplished in groups of people. It is because of this that this intervention program will be best established with larger groups of children. Differing groups of children will also help this program. Learning is thought to occur in a gradual process in which organisms must act to learn. Bandura has studied the social learning theory on behaviors such as aggression, using this research will help to further develop the study.
