1 Professional Development Needs Assessment for Teachers Name _ Grade Level / Subject Date ABOUT THIS INSTRUMENT: RCB Medical Arts Academy places a high priority on the continuing professional development of teachers. Teachers must be given whatever they need in order to do the work they have before them and have an impact on their students. The following needs assessment will assist us in determining directions our professional development program should take. It is divided into two parts: Instruction, Classroom Management, and Technology. In this assessment, we ask that teachers simply state their comfort level in doing particular actions that are directly related to effective teaching, classroom management and the implementation of technology in the classroom. Each section gives a number of tasks, and the teacher will indicate, on a 1 to 5 scale, their comfort level in accomplishing that task. For the purposes of this assessment, the administration assumes that all of our teachers are excellent at doing all of these activities -- but that everyone operates at a different comfort level. Hence, we will not be using your answers in any way to evaluate you as a teacher, but only to create opportunities for professional development in areas where teacher comfort level may be enhanced. Thank you for giving us your input and helping us focus our Professional Development efforts for you and for our students.
