The purpose of the comprehensive needs assessment is to:
• Provide schools with a clear view of their strengths, areas for improvement, challenges, and successes;
• Assist schools in addressing the gaps between the current condition and the desired state
• Provide a mechanism for both the division and school leadership in determining needs, examining their nature and causes, and aids in the setting of priorities for future action;

This template was designed to support school leaders with a tool to :
• Enable the school and/or division to conduct a systematic review of practices, processes, and systems within both a school and a school division;
• Guide the development of a meaningful division or school plan and suggests benchmarks for evaluation; and most importantly,
• Provide a critical foundation for high quality continuous improvement efforts, ensuring the best possible outcomes for all students.

Guiding Questions:

1. What are we trying to accomplish?
2. How will we know that a change is an improvement?
3. What changes can result in improvement?
