Advising Local Programs
Purpose
Cooperative Extension programs are called to understand local needs and participants through stakeholder engagement to develop educational programs. The purpose of this course and experience is to help an Association meet the needs assessment requirement for programs – whether it be through guiding a formal advisory committee or informal advisory process.
The process and supporting information are intended to guide analysis of your current programs and planning for future direction. The topics within this course are designed to assist CCE Associations in the process of reviewing and evaluating current program context and opportunities. Program examples are included to give you guidance on how to use resources, but know that this can be applied to any program area.
The course is designed for Extension staff, but the resources could be used with local volunteers. While staff may take this course at any time, it may be particularly helpful as an Association seeks to meet the accreditation requirement for advisory committees, or for an Association in a leadership transition, or for those in the early stages of a strategic/program planning process.
This Moodle course is a resource for all staff to support the facilitation of Program Advisory Committees. To further connect and engage with colleagues enrolled versions of this course will be offered periodically. The course can also serve a template in developing custom learning experiences for programs, teams, and local associations.
