New material will include:
a. The purpose of assignment #5 is to have you demonstrate your understanding of
scheduling. As a manager, scheduling requires a range of considerations to maintain a
smooth flow of operations.
Steps for this assignment:
a.
Build a schedule of a program consisting of multiple classes/events (it can
be anywhere from 1 day to 1 week. It should not exceed 1 week simply to
maintain scope of the assignment).
b.
Your schedule should include staff, equipment, facilities (e.g. planning for
rooms, fields, waterfront, etc.), and logistics (e.g. getting your
participants/students from one location to another within their stay at your
agency).
c.
Provide a schedule that a participant would receive (external) and one that
is used by staff (internal). The external schedule does not need to include
graphics or other features that comprise the final “camera-ready” mockup. It should be presented in a manner that is organized enough so that a
customer could easily understand it (refer to some of the in-class handouts or to those provided by the department of Rec Sports – Outdoor
Program).
d.
An overview (1-2 pages) of a risk management plan for your agency. An
outline of a plan for staff development for a 12-month time period
pertinent to your agency.
e.
A plan of evaluating your agencies success including a 1-year; 3-year; and
5-year plan.
