This document outlines the objectives and resources for Topic 4 of an educational leadership course. The objectives are to analyze a school's budget and identify resource needs through a needs assessment. Students are instructed to review sample budgets, articles on budgeting and spending, and a video on needs assessments. They are also to reflect on building a school budget. The topic includes discussions on return on investment and identifying programs that exemplify or don't exemplify this model. It also includes a field experience assignment to collaborate with a principal on a school's current and previous budgets and continuous improvement plan to understand the budget development process.

SUBMIT ASSIGNMENT
Assessment Description
This assignment replicates an authentic process that school
leaders
conduct each year. Reviewing the prior and current budget
against
the school’s CIP/SIP and the data gathered from the needs
assessment are required for the principal to plan and develop
the
upcoming budget. This process could also reveal
accomplishments
in goals and help set new improvement goals for the future.
Allocate at least 5 hours in the field to support this field
experience.
This assignment requires the review of a full site budget, not
just
one area. (A sample budget is provided if you are unable to
access
your school’s budget.).

Engage in a collaborative discussion with your principal or
another
school principal about planning a site budget and request to
review
the school's current and previous year's budget, as well as their
CIP/SIP. After reviewing the two budgets and the CIP/SIP, ask
the
principal to describe how the current budget was developed,
including:
Development timeframe
Stakeholders involved in the process
How needs were identified
Process of defense and modification
District technology requirements and their effects on the
budget process
Review the differences between the current budget and the
previous budget, asking the principal to provide insight on any
21. differences. Discuss to what degree the principal thinks the
budget
realistically supports the CIP/SIP.
Part 2: Budgetary Needs Assessment Survey
Administer the online needs assessment survey that you created
in
Topic 3 to six or more faculty and staff identified by you and
the
principal mentor.
Use any remaining field experience hours to observe and assist
the
principal mentor.
Part 3: Schoolwide Budgetary Needs Assessment Summary and
Reflection
In 750-1,000 words, summarize your schoolwide budgetary
needs
assessment, addressing:
Background information: An overview of the school (e.g.,
student demographics, community profile, major programs)
Current budget expenditures
22. Current budget revenue
Key findings from comparing last year’s budget, this year’s
budget, and the current CIP/SIP
Key findings from analyzing the results of the assessment
surveys
2-3 preliminary suggestions you might make, based on the
needs assessment data you presented
Reflect on how conducting a formalized needs assessment is an
important step in promoting continuous and sustainable school
improvement. Incorporate PSEL standards into your reflection.
Describe how you will apply what you have learned to your
future
professional practice.
