The purpose of the Continuous Improvement Process (CIP) is to increase outcomes for all students and close performance gap(s) using multiple cycles of inquiry. The heart of this problem-solving approach is problem articulation and root-cause analysis to purposefully slow down the natural tendency towards solution generation or solutionitis. A commitment to engage in adaptive and often difficult problem analysis, from multiple perspectives, can help unearth assumptions and position leaders to be more intentional and resourceful.<\/p>\n
