HAS YOUR DISTRICT STARTED A CNA?

Part of the Integrated Strategic Action Plan (ISAP) is the completion of a Comprehensive Needs Assessment (CNA). It is recommended to be starting this process now!

Directions for the OPI CNA:

Go to School Accreditation page on the OPI website
All stake holders click the link to access the CNA, which will always be open
The district decides what their deadline will be for their stakeholders to the CNA
The District Superintendent will then go back in to School Accreditation and click the Request District CNA Results

A reminder you do not have to use the OPI's assessment, it is an option!

Questions about the CNA? Contact Carrie Kouba

Questions about the ISAP? Contact the Accred.Team

Upcoming Due Dates:

Nov. 15th- Internship Applications due from EPPs and Districts (through TeachMT)

*Reminder: The school district must report to the superintendent during the annual data collection, at the beginning of years two and three of each internship agreement, the intern's yearly progress toward completion of the program of study.
