Needs+Assessment

**Introduction to [|School Needs Assessment] **

To better understand the perceptions of teachers regarding literacy instruction in my building, I conducted a survey. I asked teachers about their access to resources, time for collaboration, and overall how they feel about teaching literacy. Using the data they provided me, I created a two-year plan to increase the effectiveness of our school-wide literacy program.

**Reflection ** Upon evaluating the result of the surveys, I realized how difficult it is to provide professional development and resources that are appropriate to the spectrum of levels in a K-6 school. With the development of a school-wide vision of literacy instruction, including synchronizing the language we use with literacy instruction and collaboratively generating enduring understandings along the continuum of literacy learning, we may be able to better supply training and resources to teachers, but more importantly increase the effectiveness of our instruction.
