Program Planning

Program Planning. Two words with a whole lot of substance. In the first activity, I showed thirty percent of my learning in the past year to be in a formal setting. Much of my informal and self-study learning I had not taken into account. This activity has broadened my perception of what I have learned.


The definition of the program planner being compared to a “project manager” in Module 1 is brilliant. A successful project manager/program planner will keep a bird's eyes perspective to ensure a successful outcome of any project/program. It’s this versatility in the role of the program planner that interests me and greatly motivates me. Lastly, I am again reminded of how much learning and program planning transcends the classroom and into everyday living.

Welcome

A blog. It seemed daunting at first, however, I will find my groove. I work for Employment Solutions for Immigrant Youth. I am currently not involved in program planning. However, while living in India I had the opportunity to conduct and develop workshops for adults. Through these opportunities I found I had a passion to facilitate learning.

Since beginning the CACE Program in 2010, I witnessed a variety of 'A-HA' moments in my view towards Adult Learning. A topic which in the past I had not pursued studies in. Through this blog I hope to share these relevant moments of learning, both throughout this course and future courses.

Welcome and enjoy!
