Needs assessment
Sometimes schools are aware of the need to make changes in various parts of their service delivery but are unsure of the best way to proceed.
In some cases, more information may be the deciding factor in the changes they decide to implement. At other times, there is a need to determine the receptivity of the system to change and to judge the most productive way to proceed.
A needs assessment is a non-threatening way to acquire information and to judge the receptivity of those individuals most likely to be impacted by any change. Examples of needs assessments I have conducted include:
- Teacher knowledge about student assessment (for a school division)
- School counseling program
- Needs assessment and action plan to provide services to Intellectually Able (gifted and talented) students
- Special education department (referral process and service delivery)
