A Guide for Developing Non-Instructional Programs.
National Urban League, Inc., New York, NY.
This handbook presents a comprehensive, step-by-step guide for educators, parents, and community leaders who are interested in providing non-instructional services in an educational setting. The general concepts are based on a program development model that has been adapted to the special concerns of non-instructional in-school programs. The specific ideas and examples in the handbook are derived from the experiences of Follow Through Program sites in New York City, which included health services, social services, guidance and psychological services, and nutrition services. The main body of the handbook consists of five sections which outline program development: (1) Needs Assessment (identifying the problems and needs to be addressed by the program); (2) Program Design (planning service delivery and management strategies for addressing these needs); (3) Program Implementation (operating the program based on clearly specified program objectives); (4) Program Monitoring (determining whether the program is being implemented efficiently and effectively and is meeting its service delivery and management objectives); and (5) Interagency Cooperation (forming linkages with other agencies and programs for the sharing and exchanging of ideas and resources). The handbook also presents a case study of non-instructional services in the Follow Through Project, a workbook containing worksheets and a checklist for each stage of program development, and an extensive annotated bibliography. Charts, tables, and other illustrative material are included to provide a capsule view of the program development process and to present examples of the concepts and activities being discussed. (KH)
