- guide participants through reflective process so they discover their own learning
- encourage clients to share their personal observations, behaviours and consequences
debriefing elements (7)
Boundaries, permission, purpose, focus, responsibility, structure, closure
Boundaries

permission
participants need to agree to discuss

group, interpersonal, intrapersonal
Funneling filters (6)
- Review
- Recall and remember
- Affect and effect
- Summation
- Application
- Commitment
Purpose of program planning (3)
- articulate and document program design
- share the operational details to everyone involved in delivering the program
- should contain enough detail to that the program can be duplicated by another programmer
Agency mission and programming philosophy
why is this program being developed
Need for the program (2)
- statement for need
- how was the need determined?
Designing goals of the program (3)
- what specifically is the program supposed to accomplish
- what leisure experience is being created
- what are the desired participant outcomes
Operational details (12)
-venue, special arrangements, inclusion plans, equipment/ supplies, budget, registration, staffing, orientation, management, cancellation, set-up, risk management

-how to shape the program enough but not too much to get your audience to achieve the goals you set up

The service continuum (2)
- agency as a facilitator
- agency as a director provider
Benefits based programming model: 4 key components
-issue and target goals
-activity components
-benefits outcomes
benefits-based awareness
Evaluating programs
systematically to measure success in achieving these benefits and sharing this information
Relationships:
the relationships people bring to your program
What are the 6 key elements for planning a program?
- Interacting people
- Physical setting
- Objects (physical, social, symbolic)
