At present, the prototype is intended for demonstration purposes only. When visitors complete the form and submit it, the results will be e-mailed to Jim Wright, the program's creator. The current form is based on a needs assessment survey contributed by the Syracuse Teacher Center. The Teacher Center On-Line Needs Assessment Form is a fully functioning prototype.
Current plans call for the form to be expanded to include additional assessment items.
When this evaluation tool is fully operational, Directors whose Teacher Centers sponsor web sites will be able to 'order' their own unique On-Line Needs Assessment Form, which will be created and put onto the web by this site's administrators. There will be no cost to Centers for this service. Thus, once their Needs Assessment Form has been placed on-line, participating Centers can link the form to their own web sites. The On-Line Needs Assessment Form is presently being expanded and improved. A notice will be posted on Caucus alerting Centers when this tool is available for Center subscriptions.
