Program Development

RealVisions consultants facilitate the process of program development by first helping clients

  • Determine the need for the proposed program,
  • Identify challenges they hope the program will overcome, and
  • Assist clients in identifying the constituents they hope to serve with the planned program. 

Such a needs assessment and problem identification process is critical to formulating a concept for dealing with identified needs and challenges.

Consultants next assist clients in fully delineating the design and theory for the proposed program by helping them create a program logic model.  The clear articulation of program goals, resources, activities, outputs, outcomes, performance measures and data collection procedures helps clients guide the implementation of new programs, structure the revamping of existing projects, and interpret process and outcome evaluations.

Through probing questions, an analysis of program objectives, and an examination of program outcomes and their alignment with program activities and measures, RealVisions consultants help clients formulate clear action theory statements upon which to structure the development, implementation and evaluation of arts education and arts integration projects.

With sound program design and theory in place, RealVisions consultants provide assistance in establishing implementation activities, program operations and service delivery systems.  In addition, consultants offer direction in evaluating program outcomes as well as strategies to evaluate program cost and efficiency.
