Program Development
Program development in social welfare is an essential aspect of service delivery systems at local, state, national, and international organizations. Hoefer and Watson 2022 is an outcomes-based, reader-friendly book that connects theory and practice. Erlich, et al. 1998, though over two decades old, provides practice wisdom on program development that remains popular among academicians and human service professionals. Calley 2011 discusses the evidence-based approach to program design, implementation, and evaluation. Drolet 2016 includes two dozen authors’ contributions on diverse areas of interest. Kettner, et al. 2016 deals with all aspects of program development. Mintzer 2002 is a good resource to enable a person to complete any type of program development, irrespective of the cost or timeline. Bargal and Schmid 1992 provides a broad understanding of organizational change and program development in human service organizations. Management and Administration in Social Work (Jaskyte 2010) includes a review of eight articles that identifies the specific program development functions of supervisors, managers, and senior administrators. Murphy 2006 narrates the evolution of the development programs of the United Nations around the world and documents the outcome of over one hundred interviews on the art of program development. Dumont and Myreille St-Onge 2007 highlights diverse answers to a wide range of theoretical and practical issues in social work and health care, with special emphasis on program development.
