Define the Problem
Academic performance of students in 705

3. Gather the Evidence

4. Identify the Causes
What are some causes for the low performance levels? Discuss some possible causes with your partner
Here is what I think:
Students are not doing their homework
Students are not studying at home
Students are distracted in class

5. Evaluate an Existing Policy
What are we doing about it now?
Turn to your partner and discuss some of the things your teacher requires you to do in order to be successful in class.

6. Develop Solutions
What are some things that could work better than what we are doing now?
For example:
Create afterschool study groups with teacher supervision to help with homework.
Form your groups and come up with at least three possible solutions as a group.

7. Select the Best Solution (Feasibility vs. Effectiveness)
HIGH
MEDIUM
LOW
What’s that now?

8. Select the Best Solution continued
