Pair‐Share Question for Table Discussion

Thinking about Continuous Improvement
• What is the problem we want to address?• What are some causes (drivers) of that problem?• What is a specific change/intervention we could make to address problem?
• What happens when we introduce this intervention?• What do we learn from what we observe after trying out a specific change idea?
• What conclusions do we draw about what to do next?

Problem of Practice
High rates of chronic absenteeism and course
failure in 9th grade
Negative impact on graduation rates and postsecondary success
f Practice

Family Engagement Goes Down Right at the
Critical Juncture for Students
But research shows that at this critical transition to high school
School efforts to engage families tend to go down
![Page 10: Families in High School Success: A · Regular coaching to school teams in planning, implementing and evaluating their family engagement efforts, reflecting on data and connecting](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050516/5fa02156e0a01854b0183200/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
TheQuestion
Can increased family engagement during the transition to high school help to prevent at least some of the attendance and course failure problems common in 9th grade?
![Page 11: Families in High School Success: A · Regular coaching to school teams in planning, implementing and evaluating their family engagement efforts, reflecting on data and connecting](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050516/5fa02156e0a01854b0183200/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
PD will equip school teams for more effective family engagement planning and
implementation
Improved family engagement
practices will equip families to provide improved support to their students
Improved family support will lead to higher attendance and course passing
Higher attendance and course passing will yield improved student outcomes

Practicing the PDSA Process
Think of a recent family engagement initiative or activity in which you were involved.
If you are together with colleagues who also were involved, please reflect as a group.

Next Steps
How can I apply this process in my professional setting?
Who are the team members who will be part of this process (or how can I recruit them)?
What is the specific problem of practice we want to address?
What are the barriers to doing this, and how will we address them?
What help do we need, and where will we seek it?
