Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today's rapidly changing world, new social and human service problems emerge constantly, and in order to make good use of resources that are often limited, social service agencies must ensure that their services are truly needed. Needs assessments provide a baseline against which later results can be compared, and may also assist policy-makers in recognizing new trends or problems on the horizon. With so much hinging on their outcome, these assessments must be conducted both accurately and efficiently, and this pocket guide will give practitioners the ability to do so. Written by a group of social work scholars with a collective wealth of experience in conducting needs assessments at all levels, this practical guide will walk readers step by step through the process of selecting the right design to confidently conducting the assessment, meticulously analyzing data, and finally writing a cogent report. In addition, the authors explore the various approaches that can be used to assess the needs of a client or population group and the differences between large- and small-scale assessments. Later chapters in the book include discussions of emerging technologies in the field as well as abundant social work case examples. Social work graduate students, as well as social workers in the field who need to brush up on their skills, will find this book an invaluable aid.

Download or read book Needs Assessment written by James W. Altschuld and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2010 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1995, Witkin and Altschuld proposed a three phase process model of needs assessment: - Preassessment (learning as much as possible from existing, inexpensive sources) - Assessment (collecting new information about the needs in consideration) - Postassessment (prioritizing needs, understanding their causes, and translating priorities into action plans for organizations). The model has been extensively re-conceptualized and forms the basis for this book. The content includes a user-oriented approach to a comprehensive overview of the three phases and the 14 key steps necessary to implement them. Numerous examples and practical illustrations are given throughout the text as guidance for needs assessors and those who do research on the topic. An extensive glossary of needs-related terms and an outline of a final report are also provided. The book is the first one in the Needs Assessment KIT with connections to the other four.

This phase of project development transforms exciting ideas into project proposals, setting the stage for a variety of actions that will eventually lead (if all goes well) to desirable results. From deciding to propose a sanitation project in South Asia to selecting approaches that strengthen school management in South America, these decisions are the starting place of development.

Needs assessments support this early phase of project development with proven approaches for gathering information and making justifiable decisions. Filled with practical strategies, tools, and guides, you will find that this book covers both large-scale formal needs assessments, as well as less-formal assessments that guide daily decisions. Included in the book is a blend of rigorous methods and realistic tools that can help you make informed and reasoned decisions.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report includes analysis of student enrollment behavior, employment outlook and training needs, and community needs to understand the supply and demand for postsecondary education in Washington State. The assessment will specifically respond to criteria laid out in state legislation: (1) Projections of student, employer, and community demand for education and degrees on a regional and statewide basis; (2) Current and projected degree programs and enrollment at public and private institutions of higher education, by location and mode of service delivery; and (3) Data from the Workforce Training and Education Coordinating Board and the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges on the supply and demand for workforce education and certificates and associate degrees. Analysis is performed in four parts: (1) Aggregate estimates of the supply and demand of education will be provided; (2) Matrix analysis of major lines of study and occupations showing the distribution of graduates from given majors in occupational groups; (3) High-demand fields, including occupational areas that face the greatest challenges in attracting qualified workers, will be identified; and (4) Regional profiles will provide detailed information on postsecondary participation and rapidly growing occupational areas, by region, of the state. Based on statewide and regional results, the following observations and recommendations are offered: (1) Growth is required throughout the higher education system; (2) Higher education must increase the number of graduates with the skills required to meet employer needs in a number of key occupational areas, including computer science, engineering, software engineering and architecture and health care; (3) Expansion of existing strategies in health care and the development of new programs and delivery mechanism; (4) Development of strategies to increase the number of qualified K-12 teachers in key shortage areas; (5) Additional study to better understand the apparent mismatch between supply and demand for trained workers in key occupational areas; (6) Further analysis in specific regions to identify strategies for improved participation; and (7) Improved methodology and data elements used in the needs assessment to ensure that the needs assessment is an effective tool to guide the growth of the higher education system in the state. The following are appended: (1) Data and Variables; (2) Baccalaureate and Beyond Major Fields of Study; (3) Regional Definitions; (4) Statewide Programs; (5) Related Reports and Data Sources; (6) Included Colleges and universities; and (7) Compendium of Tables. (Contains 28 footnotes, 52 figures and 54 tables.).
