Gaps Analysis Template  \nAfter cataloging resources and analyzing roles, use this template to summarize what training and education content, resources, or opportunities your team needs to develop or procure in order to meet the learning goals you have for employees.  \nThe gaps analysis phase is a high-level assessment aimed at identifying overarching gaps in an organization’s current climate change education resources for the key role types included in the role analysis. It should reflect the knowledge areas, competencies, and skills from the K&C  Framework identified in the role analysis as well as the organization's primary goals for climate change learning. In form, this gaps analysis can be as simple as a descriptive bulleted list or can include specific details and examples. The following methods are useful in identifying gaps, based on the data collection methods undertaken for the role analysis and resource map:  \n Sorting the resource map to identify gaps in K&C Framework knowledge areas or competencies  \n An informal inventory of focus group or listening session notes  \n A keyword or thematic analysis of survey data, listening sessions, and/or focus groups  \nWhile all steps in this assessment are intended to be iterative, getting internal feedback on the gaps analysis may be an especially important early method for gauging the accuracy of the initial few project components.  \nConnect with relevant team members and consider the following questions:  \nWhat key knowledge areas and core competencies are missing or not well represented?  \nWhy is it important for our employees to gain them?  \nAre the resources and training that are currently available meeting the needs of our employees and if not, why not? Is this a content issue, pedagogical issue, or both?  \nHow could we deploy our existing training and education resources differently to meet our employee education goals?  \nTo what extent are the resources and training we’ve created accessible to those who maybenefit from them? Consider issues such as relevance to different geographies, accessibility for people with different learning styles, and accessible for both in-person and virtual learning environments.  \nCan we expand upon the resources we already have? Do we need a new approach or deliverable?  \nBased on your answers to the questions above, summarize your organization's areas for growth and intended actions:  \nThis resource was developed with support from, and in collaboration with, the USDA Forest Service Office of Sustainability and Climate. USDA is an equal opportunity provider, employer, and lender.","cbCaippw6LtjugGH","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaippw6LtjugGH","pdf",82458,"English","# Gaps Analysis Template\n## Purpose and scope\n## Methods for identifying gaps\n## Key prompts for assessing needs\n## Summarizing growth areas and actions","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the gaps analysis phase in this template?\",\"answer\":\"It provides a high-level assessment to identify overarching gaps in an organization’s current climate change education resources for key role types.\"},{\"question\":\"Which types of methods can be used to identify gaps?\",\"answer\":\"Useful approaches include sorting the resource map by K\\u0026C Framework knowledge areas or competencies, reviewing inventory notes from listening sessions or focus groups, and performing keyword/thematic analysis of survey and discussion data.\"},{\"question\":\"How should the template help decide next steps for training and resources?\",\"answer\":\"It prompts users to evaluate missing competencies, whether existing resources meet employee needs, and whether gaps stem from content, pedagogy, accessibility, or the need for new approaches or deliverables.\"}]","Gaps Analysis Template - Needs and Gaps Identification Resources | PDF",1789202802]
