The federal Office of Migrant Education has initiated a comprehensive needs assessment (CNA) process that is designed to assist states with improving the quantity and quality of data collection on their migrant students. MACC will work with the MEP to convene the MD Needs Assessment Committee in order to analyze the data that was collected over the summer and to write need statements that will form the basis for the decision-making phase of the CNA process. The final phase will include the writing of a service delivery plan that will guide the Maryland MEP for a three to five-year period. Once the service delivery plan is completed, MACC will be in a position to recommend and possibly assist with the development of a differentiated approach to program improvement and professional development that will increase opportunities for collaboration among state and federal agencies (such as Title I, Part A and Title III).
