Daily Action
Finding the root cause of the problems would be an action I would start to do from now on in my everyday practice. That includes problems in the classroom, problems with parents, colleagues, etc.
Today's discussion about treating symptoms versus finding out the root cause was very interesting to me. I had a problem the other day, two students arguing. My decision and action was that I separated the two students. But looking at it now, I understand that I did not solve the problem, just treated the symptoms. I should have asked why the incident had happened and taken the time to talk to the students, one by one then together, to find out what the real cause of their argument was and then find a solution together.
