Data Needed for a Comprehensive Needs Assessment

According to my research, it is vital that all schools conduct a Needs Assessment because

they analyze and examine the performances and gaps of the students. It helps the school to find

resources, programs, and strategies for the students (U.S Department of Education, 2020). The

process of the needs assessment is the first step in the journey of a school's effectiveness in

improving data and better outcomes of the students. Therefore, it would be beneficial to all to

ensure that stakeholders involved within the school community share their input.

There are many stakeholders that can contribute to the data being collected in the needs

assessment. Teachers can give their views on what is working and not working in the classroom.

By doing this, Principles are able to determine which standards, targets or objectives are not

being met. Adjustments or changes can be made with instruction and resources to improve and

meet the standards, targets and objectives, which will undoubtedly lead to academic success.

Being a teacher, myself, explaining what works and not works in our meetings often leads to us

making changes to our instruction and better student outcomes. Perhaps, more professional

development or teacher modeling may be needed. By conducting Walk-throughs and

observations from Administration and Instructional Coaches can provide data and feedback on

best practices. More importantly, understanding the students is important because educators need

to know how they feel and perceive their educational goals. The way students learn now is far

different than in the past. Getting feedback from students can determine what resources are

needed for the programs. Collaboration with the parents shows how communication and

connection can be extended. It will build a relationship between the school and the homes. In

addition to this, it incorporates the Professional Standards of Effective Leaders, Standard 8.d,

“Engage in regular and open two-way communication with families and the community about
3

the school, students, needs, problems, and accomplishments” (2015). Standard 10 of the PSEL,

explains that the goal of effective leaders is to achieve academic success for your students and to

improve the academic performance of the school (PESL, 2015). For that reason, it would be

necessary to explore and collect all information in relation to the Needs Assessment.
