Working theory of improvement - Articulates a hypothesis that outlines exactly how you see changes in practice sparking improvement and providing a conceptual bridge from your analysis of the problem to action in the real world. It answers the critical question: “What change can I introduce and why?”
Driver Diagram - A visual representation that turns a team’s understanding of a problem into a theory of the changes that must take place in order to accomplish the aim.
Drivers - High-leverage areas you believe play an essential role in influencing your aim. Drivers cannot be controlled directly; each is influenced by dozens of smaller steps you can take over the next several months to achieve your aim.
Primary Drivers - The essential, big-picture areas that drive progress toward the aim. They are “what” must happen to get to your aim.
Secondary Drivers - The sub-factors that influence each of the broader primary drivers. They are “where” you might change your practice to improve your primary driver.
Change Ideas - The small tweaks to classroom practice or materials that can be tested over a short period of time.
Aim Statement - Defines the improvement your team is trying to accomplish written as a S.M.A.R.T. goal.
