Successful Applications of Quality Systems in K-12 Schools
ASQ Quality Education Division
Many educational organizations have seen dramatic improvements in overall performance through the use of quality management principles. These schools have seen higher scores from students, more enthusiasm from parents, and increased loyalty from teachers. Despite these amazing results, many more schools are hesitant to use these unfamiliar and often difficult methods without proof of their effectiveness. The goal of Successful Applications of Quality Systems in K12 Schools, a collaboration of a variety of educational experts, it to demonstrate the remarkable successes possible by implementing quality principles in schools and school districts. The data and information presented in this book will provide K-12 administrators with results and benefits of establishing quality management systems in their schools, and demonstrate why more schools should adopt these practices.Successful Applications of Quality Systems in K12 Schools provides eight examples of quality management systems operating in eight different K - 12 school settings. Each chapter emphasizes one of the eight internationally accepted quality management principles. Since the book was written by the same people it is intended for - superintendents, principals, curriculum supervisors, and teachers the information is clear and easy to understand. The principles explained are applied by schools using the criteria and standards of the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award, Koalaty Kid Self-Assessment Guide to Performance Excellence, and ISO 9000 family of Quality Management System Standards.
