The module is one of a series of eight developed to provide inservice training for administrators of career education programs. The focus of the module is on the determination of needs as a prerequisite for implementation of programs in career education. The major lesson topics are: (1) the importance of needs assessment in career education, (2) needs assessment instrumentation, and (3) analysis and utilization of needs assessment data. The introduction provides a brief overview of the purpose and rationale for the module. Goals and objectives are presented together to show the interrelationships, flow, and depth of coverage. Each of the three lessons is organized around a module goal, supportive content, and learning activities, with accompanying transparencies, task sheets, and handouts. A section of supplementary readings also appears. (Author/NJ)
