Program Planning and Procedures Needs Assessment/Setting Priorities/Developing a Plan/
A program plan guides the work. It is the roadmap that gives everyone in your state direction. With that guidance and within the parameters of the plan, your colleagues can be creative. Without guidance and parameters, your colleagues wander.
There are four critical elements in the program planning process. Click on any of these four elements to access resources.
1. Conducting the Needs Assessment: A plan is based on a thorough needs assessment that incorporates multiple perspectives. Who do you involve, and how do you be inclusive? What information helps you best identify the needs? What are your current assets? Who can help you analyze the information?
2. Setting Priorities: You cannot do everything. How do your assets match your needs? Where are the gaps? What are the options for filling those gaps? What do you omit? Who helps you set those priorities?
3. Developing the Plan: The actual plan, whether it be your State Plan or a special statewide initiative, provides the framework for your program operations. What roles do your partners play in developing and implementing the plan? Who else should be involved in developing the plan’s content? Are there guidelines on what the plan should include, e.g., the State Plan? Who needs to approve the plan before you can move forward? Is public comment required? What timelines are involved? What resources will be required for plan development?
4. Evaluating the Results: Evaluation should be an ongoing process through all phases of plan development and implementation. How will you document and monitor the implementation of the plan? How will you evaluate the process and the outcomes?
