No Child Left Behind legislation and increased community expectations place increased accountability demands on K-12 educators. These demands require improvement strategies capable of dramatically improving organizational performance. To meet these expectations, the K-12 education community needs a practical method for a systems approach to continuous improvement.
This course prepares you to lead a user- friendly implementation of the Malcolm Baldrige Criteria to improve district, school, and classroom performance. You’ll exit with strategies for completing a baseline organizational assessment, a tool for systems alignment, and a Baldrige-based step-by-step implementation architecture.
This is an excellent foundation for districts interested in developing a Baldrige Award application. The course is also perfect for districts committed to a systems approach to improve organization and student performance.
