  5. What words do you think of when you hear Root Cause Analysis? @EducateIN @ntwilliamson @GinaGRomano

  6. Root Cause Analysis • Root cause analysis is a method of problem solving where the root cause is found after several iterations of asking why a particular phenomenon exists • A root cause is an underlying issue that activates the cause-and-effect response that leads to the visible problem • After the cause is found, continuous improvement methods are used to eliminate/mitigate the root cause @EducateIN @ntwilliamson @GinaGRomano

  7. Background/Importance • Requirement vs. Best Practice • Continuous improvement • Component of a larger problem-solving effort for quality improvement @EducateIN @ntwilliamson @GinaGRomano

  9. Overall Improvement Process @EducateIN @ntwilliamson @GinaGRomano

  10. So What Can We Change? • We are looking at things that can be changed by education • Instruction, professional development, supports, policies • Not immutable things like: • Poverty • Parenting • Community in which students live • Oher background characteristics: EL, Special Education, etc. • Think beyond accepting the status quo. What can you change to improve outcomes? @EducateIN @ntwilliamson @GinaGRomano

  11. Root Causes: Organizing Your Thinking • Failure to Effectively X (root cause) because of…Y(sub-cause) • When thinking of causes, categorize them into the following: • Academic • Environmental • Operational • You should have causes in each of these three • Next: What flexibilities and barriers exist that prevent school turnaround to occur? @EducateIN @ntwilliamson @GinaGRomano

  12. Including these Categories in all Areas of Improvement @EducateIN @ntwilliamson @GinaGRomano

  16. Process @EducateIN @ntwilliamson @GinaGRomano

  17. Process • Formulating the problem statement • What types of why questions are you asking? • Are they applicable to the original problem you are investigating? • When do you stop asking “why”? • Reaching the root cause when the answer to your series of why questions result in a policy, process or person • Does knowing the root cause help you address the problem? • Contingent on group work: • Outcome generally is better when a group of people work together • Individuals responsible for removing the identified root causes mustbe prominent members of the team @EducateIN @ntwilliamson @GinaGRomano
