Program Design: Analyzing Program Models

Unit 7 Project

View this data for Pathway High School, determine results and analyze results:

Minimum of 2 pages

APA format including in text citations and references

Minimum of 2 academic sources which can include your textbook

Determine the purpose of each data requirement above by discussing how it can be used in the program planning process. Identify each type of data collected as either quantitative or qualitative

Unit 7 Project

Figure 1: The occurrence of aggressive behavior incidents reported before and after the program began

Using the data in Figure 1, discuss the level of challenging behavior incidents reported before and after the program began (include discussion of the need for the program and the general impact the program had on challenging behavior).

Figure 1

# of challenging behavior incidents

Figure 2

Using the data in Figure 2, calculate the mean (average) score on the observational checklist before the program was implemented and after. Use this data to discuss the impact of the program on behavior correction procedures in the classroom.

To Calculate the mean

Add all the numbers

Divide by how many numbers

Use excel fx average

Calculate the Mean

Scores on the observational checklist was compiled to measure correct implementation of behavior correction procedures before and after program implementation. The scores are as follows:

What is the mean score for each condition?

	Scores on Observational Checklist (out of 100)
	Before Program Implementation	After Program Implementation
Teacher A	65	95
Teacher B	85	100
Teacher C	40	75
Teacher D	60	100
Teacher E	50	80
Teacher F	65	100
Teacher G	40	85
Teacher H	60	90

Figure 3

Using the data in Figure 3, calculate the percentage of students who rated their school experience at the highest level (5) and the lowest level (1). Discuss these results as they relate to student satisfaction after the SWPBS program was implemented.

How to calculate %:

X/Y *100

# of students who rated 1/total # of student * 100

Calculate the %

What % of students rated their school experience at the highest versus lowest level during each condition (before program, 3 months after program start, 6 months after program start)?

	Worst				Best
Rating Scale Score	1	2	3	4	5
# of students before program start	70	85	40	30	0
# of students 3 months after program start	25	45	95	45	15
# of students 6 months after program start	10	35	115	50	15

Total # of students surveyed = 225

Elements of a Program

Program Design

Program design refers to identifying and defining the elements that goes into the delivery of a service.

Inputs

Inputs to a program include five elements representing an agency's resources and raw materials.

Client and Consumers

Staff

Physical Resources:

Materials

Facilities

Equipment

Throughputs

Procedures that will be implemented to carry out the program

The more traditional systems theory language uses the term throughputs in place of activities.

Service Definition

Brief definition of the services to be provided

Narrows down the service

Service Tasks

Helps to define the activities that go into the provision of the service

Brings clearer definition of:

Who does what with clients

For what purpose

Under what conditions

Throughputs Cont’d

Methods of Intervention

Explains the way that services will be delivered

Includes words such as: teaching, facilitating, enabling

Important to identify best practice

Outputs

Direct products of program activities

Number of sessions provided

Number of seminars taught

The purpose of measuring output is to determine how much of an available service a client actually received and whether the client completed treatment or received the full complement of services as specified in the program design.

Units of Service

Contact units: 1 contact between worker and client

Material Units: tangible resource provided to the client

Time Units: can refer to direct client contact/paperwork completion

Outputs Cont’d

Service Completion

Final input

When will client be finished with the service?

Defined at the time the program is designed

Can be difficult to define depending on the service

Defining output prior to implementation of a program also enables evaluators to distinguish between someone who completes the program and someone who drops out.
