Once you have developed a deep understanding of your CCMR problem of practice, it is time to begin contemplating solutions. You can use a variety of approaches to identify and implement potential solutions. You might choose to use only one of the approaches described below or you might choose to combine multiple approaches to address the CCMR problem of practice in your district.

Regardless of the approaches that you employ, keep the following three improvement questions in mind during your journey:

  • Why is your district getting the outcomes it is currently getting?

  • What specifically are you trying to accomplish?

  • What changes might you introduce and why?

  • How will you know if a change is an improvement?

  • Where can your test your change ideas?

  • How can you facilitate the dissemination of an effective change idea?

Learn more about tools and techniques related to these guiding questions in the Improvement Science in Education course.
