Root Cause goes here

# data[].attributes.body
The barriers that the teachers has placed on his/her/their self

# data[].attributes.body
Teachers may think that the gap between where our students should be and what we need to teach them is too big. Teachers may think that students can't possibly do grade level content if they cannot add or subtract two digit numbers.

# data[].attributes.body
Instructional time

# data[].attributes.body
Lack of prior success. Some of our teachers haven't had experiences where they've seen students grow/been part of high performing schools.

# data[].attributes.body
Lack of exemplars of kids "doing it"/ no chance to observe/notice those exemplars

# data[].attributes.body
Haven't seen student success

Don't know how to support and scaffold so students get there

Focused on previous poor performance or gaps and do not notice when successes do happen

Not knowing what success even looks like

# data[].attributes.body
lack of intentional planning

# data[].attributes.body
Visibility, exposure, and experience- maybe the teacher has never seen a kid go from multiple years behind grade level to grade level OR experience substantial growth. You don't know what you don't know.

# data[].attributes.body
Students need to look at models. They also need structures

# data[].attributes.body
They have difficulty seeing things from another's perspective or assume that because they were a particular type of student, the students should be the same.

Missing the view from the balcony while being on the dance floor - Teachers are missing the importance of social and developmentally appropriate behaviors, while seeing the intense and every day blocks to learning

# data[].attributes.body
-Burnout

-No longer happy in their "teacher space"

-Have outside concerns/issues going on

-Lack of Personality

-Prejudged thoughts about a student

-Not knowing how to positively engage with adults and students

-Lack of Self-awareness

-Stuck

# data[].attributes.body
Growth is not instant. Seeds we plant today may not bloom until later- when we no longer have the student. We want the magic fairy dust that does not exist. Simultaneously, we also feel like because the fix is magical, that requires a lot more effort, time, energy on our part.

# data[].attributes.body
Giving up if structures/protocols don't work the first time, rather than taking the time to refine your plans/build routine so that they can work

# data[].attributes.body
Teachers are too nervous for organized chaos or students being wrong about what they're discussing.

# data[].attributes.body
They are miserable in their own lives and want to kill other's joy.

# data[].attributes.body
-Forgetting how the teenage brain works

-Forgetting how much peer relationships have on student impact, regardless if positive or negative.

-Not being able to check own bias

-Not being able to understand where another person is coming from
