Assessment Description
A crucial and difficult component of budgeting is planning for
expenses within the available resources.
Based on the information collected in Clinical Field Experience A,
create an annual budget for the small group using a digital
spreadsheet (e.g., Excel) to allocate funds to the selected group.
Base this budget on both current and anticipated expenditures and
revenues.
Include the following components in your budget:
Current budget revenue and expenditures.
Proposed revenue and expenditures.
For line items that are increasing or decreasing significantly,
include an explanation for the increase or decrease, supported
by data you obtained through the needs assessment survey or
interview.
Strategies demonstrating line items you would adjust if you do
not receive the funds you are requesting.
Write a 250-500 word rationale for the budget, addressing the
following:
How this group operates to support the school’s mission and
vision
Justification of how the requested expenditures will support
the school’s priorities and goals and promote continuous
school improvement
Strategies to build organizational capacity to rely less on school
funding
APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.

REVIEW ASSIGNMENT
Assessment Description
In order to have a basic understanding of the budget development
and oversight process, having the opportunity to talk with someone
who has experience in this area (from beginning to end) will help
you develop a better understanding of how it works.
Allocate at least 5 hours in the field to support this field experience.
Part 1: Collaboration
Arrange your field experience for this course in a PK-12 school
setting in which you will observe and collaborate with a certified
school principal. At this site, conduct a meeting with two of the
three people who are responsible for overseeing a school program
budget: a teacher, staff member, or volunteer (e.g., booster club
president, treasurer, etc.).
Your discussion should address the following:
What program do you work with that has a budget?
Who helps to determine how the funds are allocated and
spent?
How did you find out the budget amount? Does this amount
fluctuate from year to year?
What determines the budget amount? How are the needs
assessed and analyzed?
Are there restrictions to what can be purchased/funded with
the budget?

How do you determine what the funds will be used to
purchase?
Does the program generate any funding that adds to the
budget? If so, how are the funds generated?
How is the budget aligned to the school's mission and values?
How does the budget support the success of students?
What does the reconciliation process look like each month for
this budget? How many people are involved?
Ask your mentor principal for permission to review the school’s
current budget and continuous improvement plan (CIP) or school
improvement plan (SIP). This will be needed for an assignment in
Topic 3.
Part 2: Program Needs Assessment
Administer the online needs assessment survey created in Topic 1
to the individuals you interviewed in Part 1.
Use any remaining field experience hours to observe and/or assist
the principal mentor.
Part 3: Summary and Reflection
In 500-750 words, summarize your two discussions, the results
from the needs assessment survey, and any additional field
experiences. Include a brief description of the meeting setting and
the pseudo names (or real names with permission) and titles of the
interviewees. Incorporate PSEL standards into your summary and
describe how you will apply what you have learned to your future
professional practice.
While APA style format is not required for the body of this
assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and PSEL standards
should be referenced using APA documentation guidelines, which
can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success
Center.
This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning
the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for

Document the locations and hours you spend in the field on your
Clinical Field Experience Verification Form.
Submit the Clinical Field Experience Verification Form in the last
topic. Directions for submitting can be found on the College of
Education site in the Student Success Center
