Needs Assessment Survey


WHO WE ARE:

The Interwest Equity Assistance Center at Colorado State University is one of ten federally-funded equity assistance centers located throughout the country.

The Interwest EAC, based in Denver, Colorado, serves school districts in Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota.

WHAT WE DO:

Our mission is to help achieve equity in education by offering a comprehensive array of services designed to eliminate barriers to student achievement based on race, gender, and/or national origin.

The Interwest Equity Assistance Center provides services (free of charge) to public school districts and other responsible government agencies in our six-state region. These services are directed toward planning, adopting, and implementing long and short-range programs that help eliminate educational inequities, and include such programs as staff development and training, technical assistance, model program develop ment, policy analysis and long-range planning, and other forms of assistance (consulting, resource identification and referral, equity publications and materials).
