Needs Assessment

Here you will provide the instructor and the group with 2 pieces:  the actual assessment instrument(s)(questionnaire, survey, etc); AND a brief (1-2 paragraphs) description of the rationale for its creation.  This part of the assignment should address the following:

·  factor(s) that informed your choice for the specific design of your needs-assessment instrument(s)

·  reasons for choosing your specific design over other possible instruments

·  a prediction of your anticipated findings

·  a brief description of the process that led to the creation of your needs assessment instrument(s).

·  the instrument that will be used to collect data on the issue you will be trying to resolve in the classroom.
