I was searching the CDC - DASH website for information regarding "Programs
That Work" when I encountered the following message:


>Programs that Work
>Thank you for your interest in Programs that Work (PTW). The CDC has
>discontinued PTW and is considering a new process that is more responsive
>to changing needs and concerns of state and local education and health
>agencies and community organizations. Watch this space for further
>information about how we will assist communities in identifying effective
>and appropriate health risk reduction programs for youth.
>You may obtain more information about how to contact the developer of a
>curriculum previously identified as a Program that Works by calling CDC
>DASH Information Service at
>1-888-231-6405.


http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dash/rtc/



I was wondering if anyone has more information on the discontinuation of PTW.

Hi All - I will be teaching a program planning and evaluation course this year to undergraduate HED majors. The last time I taught PP was 8 years ago to graduate majors.


Any advice on the best way to approach the topic for UGs versus grads? Anything "new" out there re: program planning & evaluation? And, what are the best textbooks for this course with an UG flavor? Most that I have reviewed seem "too heavy" for UGs. Any UG syllabi that you'd be willing to share also would be helpful.


Thanks for any assistance you can provide.
