BARRIERS TO CHANGE

  • Inconsistency in staffing and school leadership
  • Staff buy-in one more thing
  • Inability of staff to look at data for the sake of change
  • Staff needed to see this as a school wide goal and not a "project for WMU class"

School Culture

  • Not easily measureable
  • Meant different things to different staff members
  • No consistent buy in from school leadership
