Recent research shows that school leaders can achieve significantly higher levels of performance by adapting the problem-solving protocols of diagnostic medicine. Medical discovery and diagnostic processes are collaborative and evidence-based, resulting in prescriptions that are targeted, research-based, and replicable. Education spends significant resources treating symptoms, rather than root causes, of problems because of incomplete data.

Improvement plans are 200% more likely to succeed if leaders utilize research-based data that informs them of stakeholder perceptions and behaviors (University of Chicago, 2012). Clinical Practice in education starts with listening to district stakeholders whose concerns are often symptoms of significant underlying issues.

In this webinar, Dr. Bruce Hayes explored how stakeholders’ qualitative insights can be combined with professional observations and education research. This “clinical data” is vital for the development of successful, evidence-based improvement plans that address causes of underperformance, prescribe targeted remedies, accurately predict outcomes and influence adult behaviors that drive higher student outcomes. We will explore how to use technology like Excel and Google Tools to collect and organize data to better get to root causes of problems and to stop wasting resources treating only symptoms. Learn how to measure and analyze stakeholder behaviors, perceptions, and the frequency of research-based indicators of commitment to and capacity for improvement.

The work of educators in teams, where individuals interact outside of their specific role responsibilities, also will be explored for the potential to create synergies, increase shared expectations, and impact the learning culture of schools. In addition, the use of clinical data to address the newly proposed requirements of ESSA will be discussed.

Learn how to improve your school’s performance levels with medical diagnostic protocols. This webinar is designed for PreK-12 district and school administrators, educators, and staff who are engaged in efforts to improve organizational performance and increase student achievement.
