View the video below that describes how to build on the fishbone root cause analysis to develop a driver diagram.
Reference the diagram created by the school team in the video and use the template to complete your own diagram.
More detail about how to develop driver diagrams--including a step-by-step protocol--is available in chapter 2 of the NYDoE Improvement Science handbook (pp. 41-71).

The Plan-Do-Study-Act process (PDSA) is an iterative, cyclical process through which educators plan to: (1) implement change ideas or strategies; (2) collect data during the implementation process; (3) analyze the data; and then (4) decide what to do next based on the findings. These change ideas may be generated from a driver diagram or might emerge from inquiry cycles that are focused on investigating a particular problem of practice.

Use the PDSA template created for the Texas Network for School Improvement to plan your PDSA cycle.
More detail about implementing PDSA cycles--including a step-by-step protocol--is available in chapter 3 of the NYDoE Improvement Science handbook (pp. 73-105).
