In this interactive workshop, we’ll talk about what a needs assessment is, and consider the multiple reasons to conduct one. Then we’ll step through the steps of conducting a needs assessment including who should be involved, where to find existing data, options for collecting your own data, and what to do with the results.
About the Facilitator: Jeanette Harder, Ph.D., is a professor in the Grace Abbott School of Social Work at UNO
About the Series: The STEM Grants Writing Workshops will assist you in both writing a STEM-related grant and with finding collaborators. We usually meet on the fourth Friday of each month from 11 A.M. - Noon.
About the STEM TRAIL Center
The Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Teaching, Research, and Inquiry-based Learning (TRAIL) Center is housed at the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO).
As an administrative unit, it provides resources and materials to undergraduates, graduates, and faculty members at UNO and lifelong learners (reaching K-12 and adult learners) beyond. The Center does not control any curricula, as it is not an academic unit, but it does serve as a catalyst for course innovations as center affiliates work through colleges to study and implement curricular change.
The STEM TRAIL Center supports the community as well as other schools and universities. Specifically, the Center aims to provide a unified voice for STEM needs in the metropolitan area while providing a shared space for housing STEM professional development initiatives and coordinated financial support for STEM research initiatives.
