Needs Assessment Finance “What is the connection?”
BIG PICTURE… Where are you trying to go?
DATA Sources • Assessments (KCCT, CTBS, etc.) • Non-cognitive Data (Retentions, attendance, etc.) • Surveys (Parent, Community, Staff, etc.)
Narrow the Focus • “What is the greatest need?” • “Will addressing this increase student achievement ?” • “What led to this need and is it something we are able to address?”
Set Goals and Objectives • Determine your long-range goals. • Based on your causes and contributing factors what will your objectives be?
Activities/Strategies • What will help you get where you want to go? • Do you need a truck, a car, a boat, skates, or parachute to get there? Be selective.
Finally Finance • Needs lead to funding. • Funding does NOT lead to needs. • How much will it take to get where you want to go? • How many stops will there be on the way?
