NON-ACADEMIC & ACADEMIC DATA—

CONDUCT THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT

Please check the tasks accomplished to the Team’s satisfaction:

 3.1 We identified data sources used in our current LEA or Consolidated Plan and in any other current system-level plans (e.g., 5-Year Plans).

 3.2 We identified data sources used in our current SIP Plans and in any other current school-level plans.

 3.3 We are confident that we had adequate and accurate data in all data categories to determine our needs.  [Data are on File]

 3.4 Any additional data needs were identified and were/will be collected now or for a future cycle.

 3.5 Our data were disaggregated in ways consistent with regulations of NCLB and Federal Programs. [Data are on File]

 3.6 Our approach to data analysis was effective in identifying our most evident and well-documented student needs. Current LEA and Current TSIP Plans were examined to determine goals and/or needs.

 3.7 Student demographic data were analyzed to determine student subgroups for accountability.  [Data are on File]

 3.8 Educator demographic data were analyzed to determine educator needs related to NCLB. [Data are on File]

 3.9 Student academic data were analyzed to determine subjects and grade levels in the most need of priority improvement and to determine important needs evident for several student groups (i.e., more than one group, more that two student groups). [Data are on File]

 3.10 Our listings of the most evident and specific Non-Academic Needs and Academic Needs are well supported by adequate and accurate data. [Listings are presented.]

 3.11 Each need was stated appropriately as a need and not as an action or activity.
