Not Just For Categoricals! Decision Trees can be adapted to answer questions in almost any situation, they aren’t just for categorical resource management. Other uses could be Associated Student Body issues Purchasing processes Facilities use Technology

WestEd.org Final Thoughts Mapping out the optimal, compliant, choices that maximize student achievement isn’t an easy task. Decision Trees can be a fresh approach when exploring options and confirming best practices and staying within the framework of compliant programs!
