Expanding your program

float

Look at the deltas generated in the activity from the previous slide. What kinds of things do you need to do before next term? Some may be fairly simple things like creating more resources for students; others may take more work, like recruiting more volunteers.

Look again at your program plan. Does the model you set out work for expansion, based on your experiences with your pilot? Now that you have experience running one program, additional terms will be much easier. Each new instructor and Ambassador takes a lot of work to train, but once they've had one term's worth of experience, they will ask fewer questions and have a better idea of what they're doing. While you'll still have to offer assistance, you can instead focus your attention on recruiting and training new instructors and Ambassadors.
