 Program ComponentsCora Lynn Heimer Rathbone
Chapter Chapter 6 in Executive Development Journeys, 2010, pp 27-31 from Palgrave Macmillan Abstract: Abstract Having said that content is a necessary but not sufficient element of program success, what else should one consider? Most people, and particularly adults, learn best when they personally engage, when they are implicated. That is what makes “experience” such a powerful teacher. The more “action” there is in the “learning”, the greater the relevance and retention. Though this is by no means a comprehensive list, the additional program components, some of which are elaborated through the client synopses of Chapter 9, contribute greatly: Pre-program questionnaires (e.g. “learning contracts”) position the participants’ expertise and preferences relative to the program and before arrival. When synthesized these serve to prepare participants for the experience they will undertake. More importantly, and of immense value, results from these offer faculty, and program directors in particular, a unique insight to the challenges, hopes and expectations of individual participants and of the group as a whole.
