Program Management

Monique offers Oregon Registry Training for Set I Standards, as listed below.  Please contact Monique to schedule an inservice training at your school or at Creative Roots.

Knowledge of accepted business practices, legal and regulatory requirements, financial obligations, and record keeping. Developing or implementing program policies, communication strategies, management plans, and sound financial practices.

Key Concepts:

  • The relationship between the program’s philosophy and daily practice, to the professional guidelines and mandates guiding the program is important.
  • Managing a program entails designing program policies that support the financial needs and the program’s goals.
  • Balance in a program necessitates meeting legal and regulatory requirements while advocating for children, youth, families, staff, and board.
  • Promoting the philosophy and the needs of the program and responding to the needs of the community provides balance in a program.
  • It is important to incorporate evaluation, planning, implementation, and management procedures into comprehensive programming and individual activities that match learner needs, diversity issues, and inclusion of children and youth with special needs. This includes acquisition, inventory, and evaluation of curriculum, equipment and materials, and other resources (financial, personnel, time).
  • It is important to provide strong leadership and visionary direction by planning for, recruiting, hiring, orienting, supporting, valuing, training, supervising, and evaluating the growth and development of staff and volunteers.
  • Program success depends on good public relations and marketing, and understanding how the program relates to the larger community.
Supporting Explanations:Program management means knowing, understanding and affecting all components of the program. Building an effective program requires the ability to carefully observe, listen to, motivate and challenge key people, such as staff and volunteers.Competent and committed program staff and volunteers receive acknowledgement and support.

Building partnerships with families, colleagues, and community agencies creates more awareness and access to resources available in community. Good will goes a long way in retaining enrollment and affecting morale of professionals and families.
