As you engage in improvement work, learn more about your problem’s many manifestations, and experience successes and setbacks, your driver diagram should evolve to reflect your most current thinking.

Phase 4: Measuring Your Progress

At its heart, measurement

is a tool for understanding. It gives clarity to what you are doing by serving as your eyes and ears

as you approach change, and it should above all be personal and practical with the most helpful

evidence often located nearby, embedded in your classrooms and daily routines. In this conception,

measurement is also a guide. It tells you how your progress matches your predictions, who is being

helped by your efforts (and who is being overlooked), and what you still need to do to reach your eventual goal.
