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. (Contains 110 references.) (JPT)

Book excerpt: We, educators, are often so involved in daily teaching duties that lack time to absorb the broader picture of what is happening beyond our classrooms in a rapidly changing world. That is the norm in our profession. But our responsibility is to constantly improve the wellbeing of all the students enrolled in our classes. Education is the most important and most challenging profession there is. Educators shape future leaders, heroes, and people who can improve the world. Transformational educators have long term effects in the lives of students that projects on nations. On the opposite side, students waste time sitting in a classroom and can hamper future opportunities in life when educators fail to motivate them to assume responsibility for improving their wellbeing and build a better world for all. Education is not just another profession, it is an extraordinary endeavor with surmounting human responsibility to transform lives for the better. To claim the merit of education, educators must project education beyond school border into the context of society and the economy. To miss this context is a pending challenge. We, educators, need to earn the merit we deserve. But we now know that we earn merit with knowledge how to manage for quality and continuous improvement aiming at results leading to sustainability and working systematically to reach high standards. Lepeley, author of numerous publications on the subject, former examiner of the US Baldrige National Quality Award and adviser to NQAs in six countries in Latin America, presented her quality management model for education in the World Bank Global Network in the early 2000’s. Her model has pioneered integration of education with other disciplines and other sectors projecting the importance and impact of education on sustainable development. The author emphasizes that neglecting the surmounting demand for quality will impair education as a fundamental factor of development, harm the worth of educators, undermine the profession and dent the wellbeing of human beings in inclusive nations and a peaceful world.

Download or read book Stakeholder Driven Strategic Planning in Education written by Robert W. Ewy and published by Quality Press. This book was released on 2008-11-13 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No school district becomes excellent without a strategic plan, but many remain mediocre with them. What makes the difference? This book has been written to describe what it means to engage in serious long-range or “strategic” planning and to provide solutions to the inadequacies and inconsistencies found in the way school districts approach this process. The book is intended to be as practical as possible, meaning that by understanding the design and following the suggested strategic planning team activities found in each chapter, you could facilitate this process in your district. All key components are described and multiple examples are used to help the reader understand the intent of each component and how the components fit together. In addition, questionnaires and surveys are included to simplify facilitation. The basic reference used to refine the Stakeholder-Driven Strategic Planning process is the Strategic Planning Category of the Baldrige Education Criteria for Performance Excellence.
