The course will be geared to experienced teachers, adminis- 

trators and consultants with an interest in developing new programs 

or changing existing ones in classroom and/or school settings. The 

emphasis will bean developing programs in operation in schools 

rather than designing them on paper. 

?

Themes to be discussed include 

the following: ? 

political and ideological aspects of program des:ign; 

?

gaining and maintaining organization of learning activities; handling 

conflict in the setting; decision-making; assessment of learning 

activities; ? 

in-service staff development; 

?

and program evaluation. 

As much as possible, we will make use of specific situations. 

and problems of concern to members of the class. 

?

There is no formal 

text. ? 

The basic reading for the course consists of a collection of. 

?

articles, excerpts from reports, etc., which will be distributed at 

the first class meeting, along with a list of supplemental references. 

Class activities may include a mix of lecture, discussion, audio- 

visual presentation and group problem-solving activities.
