Program Management: Weekly Program Guides

Each week, I create a weekly program guide for our unit directors that shows just what programs we're doing and what activities they need to incorporate into each target program. On this weekly sheet I incorporate any special visitors that will be coming to the clubs as well, so that all staff know what to expect. The unit directors get the plans a week early so that they have time to assign projects to program staff for implementation. Here is a sample of our weekly program guide for this week:
Each unit director has been responsible for choosing their own project learn activity and daily triple play activity to implement along with the target program described. Our school sites only have kids on site for about 2.5 hours each day, so making the most of that time with the kids is incredibly important. Each unit director is allowed to set a schedule that works best for them and their kids as long as there is plenty of time for homework help (we do Power Hour and Project Learn at the same time - one for kids who need homework help, one for those with no homework), at least one triple play activity, and the target program is accomplished each day.

If you have ideas to share about programming or program planning, I would love to hear them!
