Root Cause Analysis Workshop Series
These services focus on a guided facilitation around root cause analysis which is a systemic process used to identify the underlying causes of problems or incidents to create actionable steps to fix the foundation of a problem, rather than just reacting to the issues in the moment. This workshop series includes time spent on:
- Clearly articulate the problem or incident that needs analysis. This step involves describing what happened, when it occurred, where it occurred, and any other relevant details.
- Data Collection: Gather as much relevant data and information as possible related to the problem. This may include reports, logs, interviews with people involved, and any other pertinent documents or evidence.
- Identify Immediate Causes: Determine the immediate or proximate causes of the problem. These are the events or actions that directly led to the It’s essential to distinguish between symptoms and causes. Symptoms are the visible signs of the problem, while causes are the underlying factors that triggered the symptoms.
- Root Cause Identification: Usage of root cause frameworks such as the ‘5 Whys’ and ‘Social Discipline Window’ to assess existing problems of practice.
- Continuous Improvement: Use the knowledge gained from the RCA process to improve processes, policies, and procedures to prevent similar issues from occurring in the future. Root cause analysis is an ongoing practice aimed at enhancing overall organizational effectiveness.
- Each session, teams will be guided through a Plan Do Study Act tied to root cause analysis work and student, family, or client outcome(s).

Supporting Educator Wellness
Educator Wellness Multi-tiered Strategy List
In MTSS frameworks (PBIS or RTI), we use multi-tiered or layered prevention and intervention strategies and practices for adults (staff) to support our students. We can apply the same prevention and intervention logic to our work with developing and supporting a System of Care for Adult Mental Health & Wellbeing. This document includes a multi-tiered list of prevention and intervention strategies and practices that can be used by district and school leaders to support a Culture of Care for all staff.
These tips are focused on giving staff ideas and practical strategies for incorporating self care and wellness into their daily routines. The list of linked articles covers a wide range of topics related to self care and wellness practices that address the need for better mental health support for all educators.
