Applied Project Assignment
Use course material and additional references to develop a proposal for a specific program for older adults and/or their families. Assume that your budget is flexible but consider real world limitations to implementing the program. What is your theoretical and research informed rationale for the program you propose? Who will be targeted to participate? Who will staff the program; what will their qualifications be? What pre-service and in-service training will they receive? What obstacles do you anticipate encountering with the development and implementation of the program? How will you determine the effectiveness of the program? How will you market the program (advertising, a logo, the name of the program, etc.)? How will you meet the needs of diverse constituents served by the program? This must be an original proposal and may not duplicate one prepared for another course. Please include the following:
• Goals of Program
• Factors to consider (market considerations, laws and regulations, financing)
• To what extent will your program promote aging in place? Coordinate services? Provide new services? Target? Integrate with other agencies/programs? How will you finance?
• Who benefits?
• Who will perform the tasks, and what do tasks entail?
