The purpose of this part is to select a solution to the problem you defined that is grounded in literature and supported by evidence and analysis. Problem statement below: Many teachers have been leaving the field of education to pursue different careers because of low pay, lack of preparation, and little to no support, which results in poor student achievement. To accomplish this task, you will utilize a strategic thinking lens to consider the viability and applicability of the solutions you researched in Part 3 with respect to your selected problem and organizational context. As part of this process, for each solution you researched in Part 3, you will also consider any potential barriers to success in the context of your organization. Thus, after analyzing and reflecting on the potential solutions through the lens of strategic thinking, you will evaluate the viability of the solutions you researched within the context of the information you collected and analyzed in Part 1. In the case that no solution is viable, you will need to propose a new, untested, and innovative solution to your selected problem that is grounded in both the literature you have reviewed and findings from Part 1. The final product for this section will be a narrative of at least eight full length pages that should include the following components: (a) a description of each of the potential solutions from Part 3, (b) a discussion of the pros and cons of each potential solution in the context of your organization or school setting, (c) a discussion of the barriers to success for each potential solution, and (d) a summary of the rationale for your selected solution. Selected Solution: New Teacher Training in Schools (When a new teacher a hired, they would be trained by instructional coaches, and shadow seasoned teachers before taking over a classroom).
