ROOT CAUSES OF CURRENT STATE OF STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT
Following the analysis of the current state of student
achievement, the Core Planning Team used Performance
Fact's root cause protocol and rubric to assess the
underlying causes of the current state of student learning
and achievement.
The members of the Instructional Focus Team
assessed current teaching practices, leadership
practices, and organizational practices in Highline
Public Schools, using a set of research-based 16
high-leverage practices (Figure 4) and a 4-point
rating rubric that offered a consistent interpretation of
each high-leverage practice. This root cause process
also guided the identification of the Four Pillars of the
district's Instructional Focus and the corresponding
professional practices associated with each pillar.
