Needs and Assets Assessment Mapping
Context: As a first year Community School we are in the process of creating a Needs and Assets Map by gathering data from all members of our school community (families, students, staff and community partners) to better understand the needs and wants of our school community.
Purpose and Pillar: Identify key areas for growth and improvement within the community, and establish working groups that can take direct action and allocate resources to address the collective priorities.
Process: Conduct a combination of focus groups, surveys, and one-on-on conversations with members of the school community to gather diverse data. The goal is to understand the primary concerns/priorities of the community and identify potential actions to enhance the functioning of the community school.
Next Steps: Our Community Schools Team will look at the data from our focus groups, surveys and conversations to determine our focus.
