Choose an academic need at your school for an area in which you are involved, and for which you can envision working with colleagues toward improvement.
Suppose that your administrator has asked you to facilitate this work by planning a needs assessment so that you can help colleagues to determine a plan for this academic improvement. Starting on page 2 of your Assignment 8 paper, address each of the following prompts, labeling them as you go. Prompts b-e are closely parallel to some of the needs assessment steps on text p. 105.
Page limit: 2 pages, double-spaced, for all six prompts & label the prompts in the paper as A-E. Use complete sentences.
Briefly identify your teaching assignment and describe the broad academic improvement that will be the focus of the work.
What existing data might you and colleagues gather for review related to the need? Be specific.
After reviewing the data, devise five questions you might use on a survey to determine your colleagues’ needs related to addressing the improvement.
Describe a potential method for administering the questions.
Describe how you (or you and your colleagues) will compile and analyze the results and how you might present the results (chart? narrative? other?).
Reflect on what step above might be the most difficult and identify some specific adult learning strategies you can use to plan for success (refer to Chapter 4 of the text).
