Chapter 7: “Setting Goals and Objectives”
Chapter 7 explores the purposes and criteria for a goal statement. You will also explore the relationship between agency mission and program goals and objectives, the parts of a complete objective, the components of an outcome, and the ways in which process objectives and activities work together.
Topic should be at least 350 words and should reflect the fact that you have completed the Reading and activities. Use your words wisely so that the posting has substance and includes examples and explanations. Best practice is to include citations and a reference list.
Take time to review the responses of your classmates and respond specifically and substantially to at least two other students’ postings.
