Description: Root cause analysis is a powerful method schools use to analyze data to solve problems; it aims to identify and correct the root causes of problems or events, rather than simply addressing their symptoms. It also helps prevent schools from making incorrect assumptions that solve the “wrong” problem. Educators use this approach in their schools and districts, both reactively (to understand the success or failure of past strategies) and proactively (to plan improvements in school performance). Join us to learn from a veteran practitioner about the value of this process and practical ways to use it in your school or district. This webinar will be helpful to educators regardless of whether they are familiar with this method of data use in their schools.

Audience: The webinar is open to all educators, including teachers, assistant principals, elementary and secondary school principals, directors, and central office administrators.

Speakers: Roni Silverstein, Principal, Fallsmead Elementary School, Montgomery County, MD
