Put another way…
Where are we? Where do we want to go? Why are we going there? Who are we working with? How will we get there? What do we need to make it happen? How will we know we’ve arrived?
![Page 6: Program Planning Presented by: Saskatchewan Literacy Network March 2007](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649dfe5503460f94ae649c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Why is early community participation important?

Wheatley, 2002

Building the Bridge: Program Planning
![Page 16: Program Planning Presented by: Saskatchewan Literacy Network March 2007](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649dfe5503460f94ae649c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Why are we going there?
“Adult educators have spent the last fifty years trying to develop ever more sophisticated approaches to planning…We have suffered from a fixation on linear, tidy, and familiar models that treat a complex social process as unproblematic. It is time that we shifted focus from finding the perfect planning model to asking the right questions.” (Sork, 2000)
![Page 17: Program Planning Presented by: Saskatchewan Literacy Network March 2007](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649dfe5503460f94ae649c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Planning is messy and creative!
![Page 18: Program Planning Presented by: Saskatchewan Literacy Network March 2007](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649dfe5503460f94ae649c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The messy stage doesn’t last forever, although it can feel
like that.
But if we suppress the messiness at the beginning, it will find us later on,
and then it will be disruptive.
(Wheatley, 2002)
![Page 19: Program Planning Presented by: Saskatchewan Literacy Network March 2007](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649dfe5503460f94ae649c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
When you are planning…
In addition to:
Applying techniques Guidelines Suggestions Checklists How to’s Steps
How about:

Your task: Why this vision? Why are we going there?
What could happen? In whose interest? How do you know this is in their best
interest? Why is it important to move in this direction? Why should resources be put into it?
![Page 21: Program Planning Presented by: Saskatchewan Literacy Network March 2007](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649dfe5503460f94ae649c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Who are we working with?
Go back to your list of people and organizations that are or could be supporters and collaborators.
