Requirements for
Completing the Course
|
Weekly Activities in Each Module
|
|
Review topical "content-rich" documents and reference
materials, case studies, simulation exercises and complete written assignments
|
|
Through
discussion boards, email, and chat rooms, participate interactive and
collaborate assignments and exchanges with participants and course
facilitators
|
|
Develop, through a six-step Action Planning
Process™, a comprehensive strategic plan for yourself and you organization
with weekly feedback and guidance from the course facilitator and other
participants
|
The six-week course is
an intensive program designed for skills development in public-private
partnerships. The weekly assignments require approximately eight to ten hours'
commitment by the participant. There is an additional follow-up component 3-4
months after the course concludes on the status of your Action
Plan.
Your work can be completed any time during each week, but
assignments must be posted to the course site on the due dates. You do not have
to be "online" all the time to do your assignments- all documents are in PDF
and can be downloaded and printed easily. You can complete your assignments
off-line and then upload to the course site when ready. Assignments in the
discussion board will require your connection to the Internet and the course
site.
