This booklet briefly outlines the cyclical process of ongoing planning as it should be employed by school administrators and offers lists of do's and don'ts for effective ongoing planning. The discussion is organized in three main sections that correspond to the main stages of the program planning cycle--program monitoring, program evaluation, and decision-making. Each of these sections contains a list of do's and don'ts and a short outline of recommended procedures. The fourth and final section presents sample worksheets that illustrate the use of the ongoing planning process for an instructional component and an instructional support component. (JG)
