Needs Assessment - Requirements  Conducted annually at each school (TA and SW programs)  Must include data on student achievement and input from parents and educators  Maintain written procedures document (timing, who’s responsible, what’s included)  Publish and retain written findings (summary of analysis, needs and priorities) 3 Massachusetts Department of Elemetary and Secondary Education
