MISSION
The Program Development and Evaluation Unit provides training
and technical assistance that enables Cooperative Extension campus
and community-based faculty and staff to plan, implement and evaluate
high quality educational programs.
PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT
Program development is an ongoing systematic process that UW-Extension
professionals follow as they plan, implement and evaluate their
educational programs. The process can be applied on a small scale
to an individual workshop; on a larger scale to a comprehensive
community initiative or to a county or statewide program of action.
The scope may be different but the principles of program development
remain the same.
In UW-Extension, the program development process is captured
in our program development model that includes situational analysis,
priority setting, program action - the logic model - and evaluation.
