(250 points).
Develop a needs assessment report based on the data you collected.
Your report must include the following identifiable (Use the titles typed below in bold) sections:
o (10 points) General information. Your name, job description, and detailed description
of your work setting (k12 classroom, media center, instructional center, etc.) Also, include the
number of students that attend your class and their demographics.
o (50 points) Results of the needs assessment. You need to describe the needs
assessment process. What steps you followed to complete it? How did you organize your time to collect data, analyze results, and develop the report? Be detailed and thorough.
o (25 points) Available technology. Describe the current available technology at your
place of work (this information will come handy for your second assignment!). Be as detailed as possible. Listing that your school has 3 computers and two projectors is not enough. You also need to talk about technological resources, such as ITS, internet access, etc.
o (35 points) Stakeholders. Detailed description of stakeholders who participated in the
needs assessment, and why their input was valuable to identify needs in technology. In this
section you also need to describe their job duties, general demographics, and why you selected them to collect your data.
o (45 points) Major outcomes (identified needs) This is the section where you discuss
your data, so be very detailed and thorough. In this section it is important that you address the reasoning that stakeholders gave you to acquire the technology, and this reasoning must be tied to specific learning outcomes/performance;
o (45 points) Priority Needs and criteria used to determine such priorities. You need to
use the table included in the Step 2 of the “What is a needs assessment?” document. In addition to the table, you need to describe in detail the priority needs and describe at least two needs that you will focus your efforts in your technology plan, and why you chose those two needs.
o (40 points) Action Plan with the data and criteria used to arrive at the solution strategies.
Again, be very detailed, provide deadlines and strategies to satisfy your needs; and
o An appendix with your completed surveys and interview transcripts. The quantitative
data should be aggregated and presented using graphs or pie charts. Qualitative data should be transcribed and added as text. (50 points will be taken if you don’t include your data)
o Your report follows APA style (50 points will be taken if you don’t follow these style
guidelines)
