Needs Assessments and Surveys

The Florida Professional Development Partnerships have conducted annual statewide needs assessment of special educators. The purpose of this needs assessment is to obtain information about the training needs, professional concerns and retention concerns of the individuals serving our students with special learning needs. The SW Florida Professional Development Partnership has actively supported the dissemination of the survey and provided various educational materials as an incentive to individuals responding. The data for the SW region of Florida (Charlotte, Collier, Glades, Hendry, and Lee County) is analyzed and used in developing our activities and programs for the upcoming year. A summary of the findings from the past two years can be downloaded below.
