Download or read book Quality Connections written by Randy Schenkat and published by Association for Supervision & Curriculum Development. This book was released on 1993 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Total Quality Management (TQM), the synchronization of quality principles across an organization, can help reveal that most problems within an organization are systemic and not personal. In the United States' educational system, teachers are often restricted, and little true learning communities are rare. Common educational practices, such as rote learning and performance-derived self-concepts, do not contribute to effective teaching. TQM helps overcome these restrictions and is consistent with contemporary principles of educational excellence. Constancy of purpose in TQM allows school districts or local schools to establish timelines for reform. Also, TQM's solutions are understandable and can be shared with all sectors of the educational community. This book includes eight chapters: (1) The Deming Paradigm and Conceptual Change; (2) Why Use a Business Approach to Transform Education?; (3) The Power of the Malcolm Baldrige Criteria and Leadership; (4) Quality Assurance of Product and Service; (5) Human Resource Development and Management; (6) Quality Plans, Results, and Customer Satisfaction; (7) Deployment Planning; and (8) Conclusion: Ways of Knowing. The Malcom Baldrige Award criteria, expected educational outcomes at all levels of education, and proposed standards of the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards are included in the appendices.

Download or read book Continuous Quality Assurance written by Clifford S. Peterson and published by American Association of Community Colleges(AACC). This book was released on 1993 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growing demand for colleges and universities to be accountable to their publics and the recognition that assessment is of little value without a systematic planning effort have led many institutions to turn to the concept of Total Quality Management (TQM). This pamphlet discusses the process of adapting TQM to a typical community college, a process called Continuous Quality Assurance (CQA), and is divided into six chapters. The first chapter, "Forces for Change in Higher Education," describes the recent calls for accountability and the responses made by higher education to those calls. Chapter 2, "An International Focus on Quality," reviews the TQM theory, its practice in Japan, and emerging trends toward quality in business and industry. "Quality in Higher Education," the third chapter, discusses applications of TQM to higher education and some major differences between business and education, including the absence of profitability in education, increased departmental loyalties in educational institutions, and the lack of a perceived crisis in education. Chapter 4, "Continuous Quality Assurance in a Community College," outlines the philosophical approach behind CQA, while chapter 5, "Assessment and Planning for Continuous Quality Assurance," describes the mechanisms (i.e., databases, alumni follow-up, and effective assessment services) that must be in place to implement CQA. Finally, "Implications of a Quality Focus" highlights the benefits of CQA, including providing evidence of institutional effectiveness, a mechanism for preparing funding proposals, and a vehicle for identifying and setting institutional priorities.
