We appear to be meeting in a silo. Can we include a future meeting with the MTSS coordinators? Also are we utilizing any Tier 1 interventions to support the number of students struggling?

#1 - similar to SMART IEP goals, explicit problem statements allow everyone (all stakeholders) to understand the problem as it stands, and identify a measure that would indicate if it were solved/improved

I notice that by stating the problem explicitly, there is a clear understanding of what is actually going on. For this specific scenario of school psych shortages, it puts into perspective that we need to put in more effort to decrease the psych:student disproportionate ratio.

While we are able to identify what needs to change, the actual change itself appears to be very slow.

Are district leaders aware enough of the circumstances to know how to “connect the dots” in this situation and bring the right stakeholders together?

The benefit of this model is that its a structured way to look at every problem thoroughly and not to miss something that could have been realized by digging a little deeper

I love the action steps component to it. And the fact that they are following up. It's not just admiring the problem

I wonder if BoE members are aware of this type of problem solving model or are there other drivers to their decision making?

I wonder if by having the negative points (barriers) acknowledged up front, teams are more likely to solve the problems

I wonder how this process could be incorporated into existing structures (like PLC, data review, leadership) meetings to make more progress with solving problems

The problem solving model helps get everyone on the same page with specific details which leads to more informed decision making. So many times in meetings with small groups - it turns into a negative exchange of ALL the problems. I like that it is focused and specific...tackling one problem at a time without feeling overwhelmed.
