Data to Support the Need for Intervention

Chapter 16 explains knowledge management: the way we manage information, share that information, and use it to solve organization problems. Organizations, such as schools, accumulate a great deal information/data, which must be organized in a way that we can make sense of it in order to use for making decisions. What knowledge would help solve the problem you identified above and how would that knowledge need to be collected and managed to help facilitate problem solving?

The on-site stress management experts could gather tacit information through brief behavioral assessments designed to find identify cues pointing towards stress.  Assessments can be given at specific increments throughout the school year with designated scores receiving designated intervention plans.  Due to the sensitive nature of the information, the data would have to be collected covertly and shared only as needed and with the teacher’s permission.
