 Needs Assessment Survey

The purpose of the needs assessment survey is to discover what professional development topics your colleagues believe would be most beneficial to them. Create a list of at least 15 suggested professional development topics that are appropriate for your organization. Using a 1-5 Likert scale, create a survey to be distributed to your colleagues via an electronic survey platform in EDU-588.

Satisfaction Survey

A satisfaction survey is designed to assess the level of participant satisfaction with a professional development session. Results from satisfaction surveys can also help in the process of modifying presentations for more effective implementation in the future.

Develop a generic survey using a 1-5 Likert scale that could solicit feedback following any professional development session.

Include the following:

• At least 3-5 questions to evaluate the quality and relevance of the information presented.
• At minimum 3-5 questions to evaluate the effectiveness of the presentation and the presenter.
• At least one open-ended response soliciting qualitative feedback.

Prepare your survey to be distributed to your colleagues via an electronic survey platform in EDU-588.

Submit links to your online surveys along with a 250-500 word rationale for your design choices, including the following:

• How are the topics you suggested relevant to your particular organization or workplace?
• Why is it important to collaborate with professionals to identify their professional development needs?
• Why you believe the tools you developed elicit valid and reliable data? Support this answer with 1-2 scholarly resources

Google Docs is the preferred method for the Needs Assessment and Satisfaction Surveys for a couple of reasons. They are user friendly,  free, and usually readily available through schools. You can use another survey tool if you like, but I would not pay for any of them. Google Forms is just fine.
