XYZ Unified School District
Intentional Guidance for Systems Change
Goal: Improve school climate (reduce violence on campus).
Data Identified Need: Too many students with behavior concerns out of class and in the office; 20% increase in suspensions from 20XX-20XX.
Systems Concerns: 1) Lack of consistent classroom rules and expectations; 2) Lack of consistent school wide discipline plan; 3) Lack of referral form from classroom to office
for discipline; 4) Lack of data element to query students with multiple offences for intervention.
