2016-2017 NEEDS ASSESSMENT RESULTS

Please share the results of your Campus Technology Needs Assessment in your ePortfolio. Your Needs Assessment
Results do not need to be in this exact format. However, you must report the information youve collected on your
colleagues abilities in both the Instructional Practice criterion you selected to focus on this year and the skills needed to
use the instructional technology tool youve selected to help perform the effective practice more efficiently and
productively.

INSTRUCTIONAL PRACTICE CRITERION

WHICH IPR CRITERION WILL BE THE FOCUS OF YOUR PLP THIS YEAR: PL-3
LEAST PREPARED
Teachers at this level do not use
backwards design and are
unfamiliar with the stages or they
do not plan assessments aligned to
the objectives prior to planning
activities. Teachers may also not
sequence lessons in a meaningful
way.
SOMEWHAT PREPARED
Teachers at this level are
somewhat familiar with
Backwards Design and sometimes
plan using the process. They plan
lesson activities aligned to the
objectives, but not always follow a
sequence that leads students to
mastery.
MOSTLY PREPARED
Teachers at this level develops
lesson plans with clearly stated
objectives that follow a sequence
that brings students to the highest
levels of mastery, while utilizing
backwards design structures.
Teacher also integrates real-life
application opportunities.
WELL PREPARED
Teachers at this level know and
use the backwards design process,
sequence lesson activities in a way
that leads students to mastery,
integrate life application
opportunities, and also plan
multiple checkpoints into lessons
to assess understanding with cross-
disciplinary connections.

 INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNOLOGY TOOLS
INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNOLOGY TOOL: HUB PLANNER
In the boxes below:
Identify the specific technology skills a teacher needs in order to use the instructional technology tool you have
selected to focus on this year.
List the specific performance indicators for a sample teacher in each of the categories below.
Then, based on your Campus Technology Needs Assessment, sort teachers into different performance categories
and calculate the percentage of total faculty that fall into each category.
