Root Cause Analysis • First ask: Why have students not learned the skills and knowledge described in GLEs • Then ask: What gaps or inconsistencies exist in curriculum: • Implementation • Monitoring • First ask: Will correcting or eliminating this root cause result in success? • Then ask: Is this root cause important enough for us to focus time and energy in the planning process? CCSSO 2007
Are any of the possible root causes enabling factors … • that is, those aspects within the school that might be negatively impacting teaching and learning; • or core factors – that is, those that are directly related to teaching and learning? • Are there any other factors related to instruction and curriculum that might affect students’ ability to master the knowledge and content? CCSSO 2007
Prioritize root causes to target those that if removed would be likely to improve student achievement • Select research-based and/or promising practices to mitigate root causes • Include progress monitoring to assess effectiveness CCSSO 2007
