• Now I lay me down to restIm so tired from
  taking testsAnd if in the morning I do not wake
  At least a test I will not have to take

Problem Analysis/Solving Process

• Defining the Problem
• Identifying Potential Solutions
• Discussing Benefits and Barriers
• Developing an Action Plan

5
Problem Analysis/Solving Process

• 1. Defining the Problem (why?), no more than 2 or
  3
• a) BSBrainstorm Generate Proposals,
  record verbalization without judgment or
  challenge,
• ask questions only to
  clarify meanings, SET TIME LIMIT!
• b) C CCull and Combine
• Delete and combine
  proposals
• c) C or V--Consensus or vote
• Aim for consensus (broad general
  agreement if necessary vote (each
  person ranks 1 2 choices))

6
Problem Analysis/Solving Process

• 2. Identifying Potential Solutions Have no more
  than 2 or 3 potential solutions and make sure
  solutions are within control of school
• a) BS
• b) C C
• c) C or V

7
Problem Analysis/Solving Process

• 3. Discuss Benefits and Barriers Discuss B B
  for each potential solution. Choose solution
  with most benefit and most easily overcome
  barriers

Problem Analysis/Solving Process

• 4. Developing an Action Plan
• Action Steps (what will be done)
  
• Timeline (when)
• Required Resources (make sure resources are
  within realm of school)
• Person Responsible
• Evaluation
