Why Quality in Education?

We are all interested in quality in education. The future of our country and the world depends on our children and college students receiving the best instruction.

Using the framework of quality in our school districts, we can design roadmaps for continuous improvement. When educators understand what continuous improvement is all about, they gain confidence that they can shape and alter the nature of their schools. Change is possible!

No Child Left Behind Act

The federal No Child Left Behind Act requires all states to:

Set high standards of achievement.
Create a foundation of teaching methods that work.
Create a system of accountability to measure results.

ASQ can help you meet these requirements and improve the quality of education in your district or school.
