Deciding on a Focus for Joint Work
Teams form around a focus on persistent problems of practice from multiple stakeholders’ perspectives.
- Teams are comprised broadly and can include teachers, school and district leaders, researchers, students, and community members.
- Identifying problems requires ongoing negotiation, with careful attention to issues of authority and power in who defines problems and possible solutions.
- Problem identification can benefit from carefully orchestrated processes to identify root causes, key change drivers, and practical theories of action.
