Malcolm and Me How to Use the Baldrige Process to Improve Your School

"Malcolm and Me describes the seven criteria of the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award program to improve student achievement: leadership, strategic planning, student and market focus, information and analysis, faculty and staff satisfaction, process management in the classroom and the business office, and results. Each chapter introduces a different Baldrige category and an "essential question" to help the reader see the big picture. Malcolm and Me also includes an appendix for those interested in employing the Baldrige process in their school or seeking the national award. In addition, a Baldrige self-assessment checklist is included to enable readers to evaluate the standing of their classroom, building, or district in regard to the seven criteria."--BOOK JACKET.
