Needs Assessment and Goals

Assessment Description

The purpose of this assignment is to conduct a needs assessment for your selected mentee and then work with them to set their short and long-term goals. Be sure to reference your topic Resources and the “CLC – Leadership Resources and Motivators” list you are collecting with your group for additional support in completing this assignment. For this assignment, review the “IDP – Needs Assessment and Goals” template, complete it, and submit it as directed. This template covers the following sections:

Needs Assessment

Before establishing goals, converse with your mentee to complete a needs assessment that identifies potential short-term and long-term goals. Choose five areas from the template as areas of focus. Here are other points to consider:

• Spend two hours evaluating areas in the mentees daily life that would benefit from coaching or mentoring techniques.
• Look for opportunities to identify the mentee’s strengths when seeking ways to promote personal progress.
• This can be done over the phone or through an interview process via video or in-person.
• You are not required to use a template or graphic organizer to document the information, but such a tool might help to evaluate your mentee’s needs and complete the goals portion of this assignment.

Setting Short-Term and Long-Term Goals

Use the provided template, develop short-term and long-term goals. You must develop these goals with your mentee. You can do this over the phone, via a video chat, or in-person. It is important to identify areas that could use coaching or mentoring techniques in order to complete your implementation plan.

• Short-term goals must reflect the next 6 months.
• Long-term goals must reflect 6 months to 2 years.

APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.
