Homelessness is caused both by structural and personal factors. Thus, comprehensive services are required to meet the complex needs of homeless persons. This article reviews case management and group work practice with homeless persons and argues that effective social work practice must incorporate both intervention methods. Integrated program development (IPD), a program framework for shelter services, is presented. A pilot project at the Salvation Army Family Haven in St. Louis, Missouri illustrates the costs and benefits of empowerment-oriented group work with homeless persons. Three approaches for establishing group work for homeless people are suggested. Each approach requires that group workers, with community organizing skills, be employed by social service administrators.

Curriculum development for family science programs can be approached in a systematic, thoughtful manner. One approach that can assist us in attaining educational excellence for our students and our program is the Continuous Process Improvement model (CPI). This model was successfully implemented at Alverno College (2003) and Central Missouri State University (Mullin & Grelle, 1994). In each context, the campus culture was transformed to “focus on student learning, explicitly driven by performance-based learning outcomes, integrated by systematic and continuous assessment and feedback” (Mullin & Grelle, 1994, p. 4). In this article, we will illustrate how professionals can use this approach to evaluate family science curriculum, by demonstrating how we used a “quality” process model to assess our own human development and family science program.

In this article we consider applied anthropology as it exists at the program level. While individual faculty can promote applied training, sustainability in applied education is only possible when entire faculties-and the college and university administrations that provide the necessary financial, structural, and social support-are committed to this approach. While many options for program development exist, we argue that being aware of what other programs are doing, and what is and is not working for them, is both time-saving and transformative. This article provides overviews of common applied anthropology training approaches, discusses the importance of support for applied programs, and introduces the rest of the articles in this series, which focus more specifically on particular approaches, programs, and training needs.
Two approaches to the development of efficient and correct iterative programs are contrasted: the construction of an iterative program and a proof of its correctness using invariant assertions of loops, and the constr...

A general translation rule from recursive procedures to iterative ones is augmented by also translating the correctness proof. The augmented translation rule is defined within the framework of Pascal programs, with th...

The author describes her professional development. Part of a special journal issue focused on 'defining moments' in genetic counselor professional development. Authors for this issue were asked to reflect on personal experiences or events, personal or professional, that led to the realization about one's self as a genetic counselor.

The written record of Ellison's involvement in Portuguese program development begins in 1964 when he became chairman of the Portuguese Language development Group that met at several Modern Language Association meetings before being accepted by the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese (AATSP) in 1967. The record ends in the Fall 2003 edition of "The Portuguese Newsletter" in an interview conducted by Libby Ginway of the University of Florida. That record constitutes forty years of writing and collecting survey data, publishing reports, and advocating for Portuguese teaching and curriculum development in the US. Most of the writing appeared in this journal "Hispania," the publication of the AATSP, an organization to which Ellison remained loyal during his long career. Ellison remarked in several places that AATSP was the organization that added the "P" to its name in 1944 and thus recognized Portuguese as a co-participant. This article reviews five concerns that Ellison addressed in his "Hispania" publications, along with an update on the status of those concerns today more than ten years after the 2003 interview, and more than fifty years after Ellison's first reports in "Hispania."

The New World of Health Promotion: New program development, Implementation, and Evaluation is devoted to the development and implementation of community health promotion programs that work. The book discusses prerequisites for a new health promotion initiative, explores some of the emerging priorities in health promotion programs, explains competencies that help achieve goals, includes examples of effective health promotion, and addresses program leadership partnerships, evidence-based programs, and economic evaluation.

Pediatric robotic surgery has seen increasing implementation for its many benefits over the past two decades. As more pediatric surgeons gain exposure to robotic surgery, the interest in utilizing this technology is growing. However, there are no guidelines or existing framework for developing pediatric general surgery robotic programs. programmatic development can be challenging, requiring institutional support, a minimum 12-month multistep process in partnership with the robot manufacturer, and organization of a local dedicated team. A cornerstone to all program building is collaboration and communication with key stakeholders who are committed to establishing a robotic surgery program. In this manuscript, we detail numerous best practices for implementation, followed by three variations of programmatic development, each drawing lessons from one of three practice settings: (i) A children's hospital in a large medical center associated with an adult hospital, (ii) a free-standing children's hospital, and (iii) a community-based practice. We aim for this article to provide a framework that can serve as a guide for those beginning this process, consolidating the key resources and strategies used to develop a robust pediatric robotic surgery program.
