Justification:

I designed this needs assessment to be used at the beginning of the school year- likely on the first

day of class. I would give this questionnaire to students and give them 5-10 minutes to answer

the questions. Once I had gone over the class answers, I would use that information to plan

lessons around students abilities and needs, as well as try to use examples and topics that they

are interested in learning about. I think I would mainly benefit from this questionnaire as the

teacher, but I tried to include questions that will keep students engaged, by varying from open-

ended to matching to multiple choice questions as well as including pictures. This questionnaire

meets the students level (first grade) and tests to see if they can understand the main points of a

reading passage. I have included most categories of Browns question types, including priorities,

abilities, and attitudes (Brown 1995).
