The Program Quality Needs Assessment is intended to help providers identify their program's strengths and areas where additional support may be helpful, in the spirit of continuous quality improvement. The scores on the Needs Assessment are not intended to grade or rank programs or to be punitive in any way. Rather, the results may be used as a guide to develop quality improvement plans, to design needs-based professional learning, and/or to determine appropriate technical assistance.
