The One Needs Assessment is a comprehensive district needs assessment which replaces the Decision Framework as well as the Comprehensive Needs Assessment that was previously found in the CCIP. This computer-based tool is accessed through the Ohio Portal and provides a structure for collaborative teams to reflect on current practices and data to help develop and prioritize district and buildings critical needs.
As a part of the Ohio Department of Education’s ED STEPS process, districts are assigned to one of three cohorts. Organizations that are a part of Cohort 1 will complete the One Needs Assessment and develop a three year plan beginning this school year. Selected districts will also be completing the Support Schools Tool this year.
The Support Schools Tool helps traditional districts and community schools track the effectiveness of their implementation of evidence-based strategies in their improvement plan. The tool also helps districts identify supports that may be available to them.
SST 1 is providing this virtual training to help prepare building teams complete this assessment. The goal of this training is to help collaborative teams become familiar with the One Needs Assessment and Support Schools Tool to better understand how they work together to create a comprehensive needs assessment.
