1 OVERVIEW Problem analysis is the phase of Step Zero where a team examines the policies, processes and practices of the organization that may contribute to a stated problem. This exercise is essential in determining the strengths and weaknesses of an organization in order to effectively plan for improvement. What is this tool? This document outlines a series of reflective, guiding questions for school and district teams to discuss. The questions are not meant to be completely comprehensive, but rather a guide to considering the key drivers for effective schools based on the best research available (see page 7 for references). The questions are organized into five domains: Effective Leadership Supportive Environment Ambitious Instruction and Learning Collaborative and Public Teaching Involved Families and Community Engagement How should this tool be used? Based on the team s understanding of the current state of the school or district during the problem identification portion of Step Zero, this tool can be used to prioritize which of the five domains need consideration. A team may choose to review one or more of the essential questions from each of the prioritized domains. The team begins by identifying data sources that may be available to inform an understanding of proficiency in each of the five domains. Considering these data sets may be helpful as the team answers the guiding questions posed, as supporting evidence should be provided to support each response. If a team has prioritized more than one domain, they may look for common themes and consider whether there are any root causes that 1) can reasonably be identified, 2) are within their control to fix, and 3) when fixed, will prevent (or significantly reduce the likelihood of) the problem s recurrence and ultimately lead to the desired outcome. Engagement in this tool may lead to the following outcomes: Development of goals that are aligned to indicators known to be drivers of sustainable, significant school improvement. Strong understanding of the root causes which are preventing the school or district from achieving better outcomes. Page 1 of 7
