14. American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education Continuous Improvement Model 1. Make the work problem- specific and user-centered. 2. Variation in performance is the core problem to address. 3. See the system that produces the current outcomes. Are the right stakeholders on hand and ready to participate? Can the problem be stated simply with consensual definitions? Do the data indicate patterns in performance? Do the quantitative data produce a normal distribution? Do the qualitative data provide context for the phenomenon? Will improvement be measurable and allow comparison? Have the stakeholders "visited" the setting? Can the setting and processes be observed and described clearly? Can observations pick up on what is not happening? We embrace the principles of improvement outlined in the Carnegie model (including the AACTE questions) in how we approach continuous improvement in educator preparation.
