For the Lesson 11 time frame, you will submit the results of your Needs Assessment Project in a report of 2,500 words, create a PowerPoint presentation highlighting the major points of the report, and conduct a brief presentation.

1. Title cover page
2. Purpose of the needs assessment
3. Phases/steps including processes and analysis to be used
4. Expected outcomes

You can find examples of needs assessments conducted by other students of WFED 573 in previous semesters via the Needs Assessment Examples page.
