Comprehensive Needs Assessment • A needs assessment based on the Five Key Dimensions of Achievement • Student achievement • School context and organization • Curriculum and instruction • Professional development • Family and community involvement • The following worksheets should be included: • Data Collection • Data Analysis • Prioritization of Needs Worksheets
Step 2: Conduct Comprehensive Needs Assessment (cont.) After determining needs, answer the following question on the Title I-A Supplemental Program Form: “Describe how the school has completed a comprehensive needs assessment of the entire school based on information which included the achievement of children in relation to the state academic content standards. The summary should include information from multiple measures of data from all five key areas of effectiveness –student achievement, district and school structure and culture, teaching and learning, educator effectiveness, and family and community involvement. The data should be cross-analyzed to identify the needs of educationally disadvantaged students.”
