14. What Does This Mean for Our School? Problem solving teams are looking at the body of evidence to determine need. A problem solving team can be a data team, student intervention team, a special team that was created to address a unique need or and IEP team Problem solving teams design a plan to address the problem. The plan is implemented by the designated personnel. The problem solving teams determines if the plan was effective. If the plan was not effective, attempts to adjust the plan accordingly should be made and re-implemented.

18. Fishbone diagram is used when…. … a team needs to study a problem/issue to determine the root cause. … a team wants to study all the possible reasons why a process is beginning to have difficulties, problems, or breakdowns. … a team needs to identify areas for data collection. … a team wants to study why a process is not performing properly or producing the designed results.

19. 3) Label each bone with categories to be studied 2) List the problem in the head of the fish 4) Identify the factors within each category that maybe affecting the problem 1) Draw the fishbone diagram 5) Continue until you no longer get useful information 6) Analyze the results
