Abstract | Several key federal and state initiatives are currently moving in the direction of requiring more and better comprehensive service delivery in education. In an effort to avoid duplicating services, better utilize federal dollars, and improve educational opportunities and outcomes, federal legislation promotes aligning and integrating programs and services, and increasing collaboration among service providers. This publication presents the results of an Arizona statewide survey that examined local educational agency (LEA) principals' technical-assistance needs and priorities related to school-based comprehensive services. Data were derived from a survey of 1,062 Arizona principals. A total of 531 usable responses were received from principals at 337 elementary, 83 middle, and 90 high schools, a 50 percent response rate. Overall, the principals expressed a desire for state-level technical assistance for their schools. However, high priority technical assistance needs focused on more traditional domains within the realm of comprehensive services--curriculum and instruction, professional development, and parent/family involvement. Middle/junior high schools and "high poverty" schools tended to express a greater need for all services, including linkage programs. Across schools, needs did not differ greatly in terms of substance, but in terms of quantity. Schools serving younger adolescents and larger numbers of at-risk students expressed a need for virtually every kind of assistance available. Eight tables and five figures are included. Appendices contain the survey instrument, survey results, and principals' written comments. (LMI) |
