School Improvement Plan Part 2
Part 2: Needs assessment of the current scenario
Scenario: You have been made principal of a failing school. There is no collegiality among teachers and the morale of the staff is at an all-time low. The union representatives are militant and the School Advisory Team seldom reaches consensus without a struggle. You obtain a copy of an evaluation of the previous principal. At the end of the year, you will be evaluated using the same instrument. You have one year to improve conditions in your school.
For this assignment, you will use the Evaluation Sample and Demographics and the William Cecil Golden School Leadership Program located in Module 2: Lecture Materials & Resources to prepare a needs assessment.
Submission Instructions:
Your needs assessment should be 2-3 pages in length (excluding the reference page).
Complete and submit the assignment by 11:59 PM ET on Sunday.
Late work policies, expectations regarding proper citations, acceptable means of responding to peer feedback, and other expectations are at the discretion of the instructor.
You can expect feedback from the instructor within 48 to 72 hours from the Sunday due date.
