Ice Breaker
“Who am I?”
Who am I?
 “Who am I?” is a guessing game where we will use the
traits and characteristics of famous, historical, or TDOE
figures to break the ice with each other.
Directions
 A TDOE staff member will place a nametag on your back.
 Each participant must try to guess who they are, by only asking “yes” or “no”
questions.
 You may only ask 4 questions to each person to gain clues. For example:




“Am I a male?”
“Am I a singer?”
“Am I an athlete?”
“Am I a TV personality?”
 Once you have asked the 4 questions, you must move on to another person
and ask 4 more questions until you guess correctly.
 You will have 10 minutes to figure out “Who am I?”

Needs Assessment
Objectives
1. Conduct a personal needs assessment on each title program
2. Determine areas where additional development is needed
3. Select breakout sessions to attend
What is a needs assessment?
 First, what is a need?
– A discrepancy or gap between “what is” and “what should be”
 A needs assessment then is a method of determining gaps, establishing
priorities for addressing those gaps, and identifying steps to make
improvements.
Why complete a needs assessment?
• A process for pinpointing reasons for gaps in understanding or knowledge
• A method for identifying new and future professional development needs
• Personal analysis identifies what training is needed
Needs Assessment Activity
1. Evaluate your current understanding by completing the pre-assessment in
your folder.
2. Listen closely as the correct answers are reviewed.
3. Using the scoring sheet, tally your scores.
4. Review the title program scores and identify the programs where the
“gap” in knowledge is larger than others.
5. Determine the priority for closing the knowledge gap(s) that exists.
6. Select the breakout sessions that will address the priority gaps.
Needs Assessment Answers
Districts and schools in Tennessee will exemplify
excellence and equity such that all students are
equipped with the knowledge and skills to
successfully embark on their chosen path in life.
Excellence | Optimism | Judgment | Courage | Teamwork
