Description¶

The recommended process is not one-size-fits-all: as printed, "The process differentiates the facilitation, protocols and tools to be employed based on the school’s existing organizational culture and its past performance results." A school team should therefore first characterize its culture and performance history, then select the matching facilitation approach and tools for root-cause work. The paper presents this differentiation as part of its recommended process.
