Root Cause 2.0: Why Interventions Fail & How to Get Them Right

Too often, school teams jump to solutions before fully understanding the problem—leading to interventions that miss the mark and don’t create real change.

This Virtual Workshop brings key insights and practical tools from our full-day training into a focused, two-hour experience. We’ll help you move beyond surface-level problem-solving to identify what’s actually driving student needs. Grounded in a data-driven, multi-tiered framework, we’ll explore common pitfalls in root cause analysis and what it takes to design interventions that are truly aligned.

You’ll walk away with a clearer way to distinguish between different types of student needs, use data more effectively, and make smarter decisions about when to pivot, persist, or intensify supports.

Participants will be able to:

• Differentiate between types of student needs (acquisition, performance, and systems) and align interventions accordingly

• Use a structured root cause analysis process and data to make more effective intervention decisions
