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.

  1. Exactly! I'm glad the project management idea worked for you, because it really distinguishes the work of the planner from that of the teacher or curriculum developer.

  2. Hmmm... I just put a comment on Candice's blog noting my interest in this same idea (that project management and program planning are related). Great minds think alike!
