17. 5 Whys………………… Why #1: Why do we have so many discipline referrals? Because a lot of students act inappropriately. Why #2: Why do they act inappropriately? Because they don’t know the rules. Why #3: Why don’t they know the rules? Because we haven’t explained and enforced them consistently. Why #4: Why haven’t we explained and enforced them consistently? Because we haven’t agreed on a common set of expectations. Why #5: Why haven’t we agreed on common expectations? Because we haven’t spent time together sharing our philosophy and expectations. Action: Let’s make the time to do that so we all get on the same page…… The Handbook for SMART School Teams by Anne Conzemius and Jan O’Neill
