5. You’ve Started Your Factor Analysis. Now What?
In your team, pick one of the factors you identified in this morning’s plenary.
Redefine the factor in terms of a “How Might We…?” (HMW) question.
If your factor is transportation barriers, then your question could be “How might we ensure that every child has reliable transportation to and from school?”
If your factor is parents don’t understand the importance of kindergarten, then your question could be “How might we help parents understand the importance of kindergarten to students’ later success in school?”
