1. Click ‘Get Form’ to open the worksheet in our editor.
2. Begin by defining the problem in the designated field. Insert a prioritized student need, such as '63% of the school’s special education students did not pass ISTEP+ in 2014-15'.
3. In the first 'Why is it happening?' section, identify concerns, influences, or controls related to the problem. For example, you might note that 'ISTEP+ is based upon grade level knowledge and students are not performing on grade level.'
4. Continue filling out each subsequent 'Why is that?' field with detailed responses. Ensure you categorize each response appropriately as a concern, influence, or control.
5. If you reach an answer that cannot be controlled, revisit previous answers to refine your analysis. This iterative process helps clarify root causes effectively.
