What goals should be addressed by educational programs? What
priorities should be assigned to the different goals? What funds
should be allocated to each goal? How can quality services be
maintained with declining school enrollments and shrinking
revenues? What programs could be cut if necessary? The ebb and flow
of the student population, the changing needs of our society and
the fluctuation of resources constantly impinge on the education
system. Educators must deal with students, communities, and social
institutions that are dynamic, resulting in changing needs. It is
in the context of attempting to be responsive to these changes, and
to the many wishes and needs that schools are asked to address,
that needs assessment can be useful. Needs assessment is a process
that helps one to identify and examine both values and information.
It provides direction for making decisions about programs and
resources. It can include such relatively objective procedures as
the statistical description and analysis of standardized test data
and such subjective procedures as public testimony and values
clarification activities. Needs assessment can be a part of
community relations, facilities planning and consolidation, program
development and evaluation, and resource allocation. Needs
assessment thus addresses a xiii XIV PREFACE broad array of
purposes and requires that many different kinds of procedures be
available for gathering and analyzing information. This book was
written with this wide variation of practices in mind.
