Overview

This is a hands-on, highly participatory five-session mini-course that provides program directors and their staff with an opportunity to engage in a step-by-step process for working on program improvement, including the analysis of program-related data. Participants will be expected to complete some between-session assignments and to deliver a brief final presentation. We recommend that, if possible, program directors attend as part of a team, along with one or more other staff from their program. The five sessions are on 1/23 (1-3:30), 1/30 (1-3:30), 2/13 (12:30-4:30), 3/12 (1-3:30), and 4/9 (1-4:30).
