Migrant Education Program Components
The State Comprehensive Needs Assessment (CNA) and Local Comprehensive Needs Assessment (LCNA) are part of the U.S. Department of Education Office of Migrant Education’s (OMEs) Continuous Improvement Cycle, as depicted in the figure to the right. In this cycle, each step in developing a program: assessing needs, identifying strategies, implementing them, and evaluating the results, builds on the previous activity and informs the subsequent activity. The Comprehensive Needs Assessment identifies needs statewide. The Local Comprehensive Needs Assessment provides an opportunity to review local data on migratory students, identify needs, and propose research-based solutions to meet those needs, and implementation through the State Delivery Plan (SDP). The purpose of the Migrant Education Program Service Delivery Plan is to provide local directors, program managers and teachers with a blueprint that can be used to improve the academic achievement of Migratory students and youth living in Arizona. This Service Delivery Plan is submitted in fulfillment of federal statutory and regulatory requirements set forth in Title I, Part C - Education of Migratory Children of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act.
