This document provides instructions for a needs assessment project to evaluate and improve a school's mathematics and science curriculum. Students will conduct a curriculum awareness survey of students, teachers, administrators, and parents to analyze how well curriculum standards are being met and resources implemented. Based on analyzing the survey data, students will then develop a plan with 3-5 recommendations for enhancing the math and science curriculum or its delivery, backed by literature citations. The final project will include a cover page, survey and data presentation, survey analysis, recommendations, conclusion, and references section.
