Synopsis:

Designing and Managing Programs: An Effectiveness-Based Approach, Fourth Edition, is an updated version of THE classic book on program planning, design, and implementation. This new edition is written in a deliberate manner designed to help students logically follow the program planning process. An increased emphasis on diversity teaches students and program planners how to develop a well-rounded program that meets the needs of relevant populations. Students will learn to track one phase to the next, resulting in a solid understanding of the issues of internal consistency and planning integrity. The book′s format guides students from problem analysis through evaluation, enabling them to apply these concepts to their own program plans.
