This workbook is based on the guide Demystifying the Community Assessment Process, that was originally adapted from the Draft Needs Assessment Manual by Regiona XII Migrant and Seasonal Quality Improvement Center, Academy for Educational Development, Washington, DC., Spring 1997. In the Spring of 2004, Region XII Technical Assistance Center (TAC-12) looked into some ways to help MSHS grantees improve their community assessment and to develop a checklist which could be used by all parties to evaluate community assessments. After reviewing many of the regions community assessments, a number of key results emerged which are addressed in this workbook.
