1. INTRODUCTION

The Comprehensive Needs Assessment Process in New Mexico

The primary purpose of the New Mexico Migrant Education Program (MEP) is to help migrant children and youth overcome challenges of mobility, cultural and language barriers, social isolation, attendance, lack of academic progress and credit attainment and other difficulties associated with a migratory life, to help them succeed in school. In this context, the purpose of the Comprehensive Needs Assessment (CNA) is to describe in detail how the challenges faced by migrant students impact academic success and reflect their identified needs to the greatest extent possible.

The previous CNA was completed in 2015 using data from 2013-14. The 2017-18 update reexamines all sections and includes components from the Office of Migrant Education's (OME) CNA Toolkit published in 2012 and updates information about the unique needs of migratory children based on changes in the population and seasonal agricultural activities. The update to the CNA has taken into account:

what has been done in the past to conduct a comprehensive assessment of needs in New Mexico as well as the State and local context for assessing and providing comprehensive services to migrant students;

OME's recommended procedures for conducting a CNA and guidance on successful strategies to incorporate in the New Mexico CNA to move the MEP closer to achieving its State goals as well as those required Federally;

the most recent migrant student achievement data and outcomes as compared with nonmigrant and all students;

the development and refinement of needs assessment systems and tools for collecting survey data from local programs throughout the State; and

the recommendations made by a broad-based needs assessment committee (NAC) that assisted the State in its CNA decision making.

The CNA serves as the foundation for the design, delivery, and evaluation of MEP services. For the past several years, the New Mexico CNA guided programming and policy decisions to ensure that MEP resources were directed at the most needed and most effective services for migrant students.

The Continuous Improvement Cycle proposed by OME served as a model for the activities conducted through the update to the New Mexico CNA. This model illustrates the relationship between the CNA, the service delivery plan (SDP) process, the implementation of services, and the evaluation of services. The exhibit that follows shows the Continuous Improvement Process New Mexico uses to plan, implement, and evaluate use of MEP funds.
