The need assessment method should be designed to provide which of the following?

• A. Sufficient data to document whether the system currently in use is appropriate or if a different method of allocating staff should prevail
• B. A Financial Audit of the District
• C. An Evaluation of Teaching Quality
• D. A General Impression of Staff Workload

Answer: (A)

The main idea is to gather evidence about how staffing is currently organized and whether that approach actually meets the school's needs. A needs assessment method should collect data on the existing staffing system, how work is distributed, and the outcomes it produces, so you can determine if that system is appropriate or if a different way of allocating staff would better support students and staff. This is not primarily about financial records, classroom teaching quality, or a subjective feel for workload; those are different evaluations. By focusing on data that shows whether the current staffing approach works, you can justify whether to keep, modify, or replace the method of allocating staff.
