  2. Building Blocks • The PDCA Instructional Process is grounded in three sets of ideas: • Effective Schools • Total Quality Management • Malcolm Baldrige Criteria For Performance Excellence

  3. TQM • Defined as “an operational theory of management and set of process tools for implementation.” • Do it right the first time! • Continuous Improvement Cycles (PDCA) • Don’t fix blame, fix the system!

  4. Who’s To Blame? The college professor said: Such rawness in a student is a shame, lack of preparation in high school is to blame.

  5. Who’s To Blame? Said the high school teacher: Good heavens!That boy’s a fool.The fault of course is with the middle school.

  6. Who’s To Blame? The middle school teacher said: From stupidity may I be spared. They sent him in so unprepared.

  7. Who’s To Blame? The primary teacher huffed: Kindergarten blockheads all.They call that preparation—why, it’s worse than none at all.

  8. Who’s To Blame? The kindergarten teacher said: Such lack of training never did I see. What kind of woman must that mother be.

  9. Who’s To Blame? The mother said: Poor helpless child. He’s not to blame. His father’s people were all the same.

  10. Who’s To Blame? Said the father at the end of the line: I doubt the rascal’s even mine. Anonymous

  41. It is perfectly all right to teach students curricula over which they will not be tested, but in this day of accountability for results, it’s fool hardy to test students on curricula they have not been taught and taught to mastery...

  42. Teaching one thing and testing another tends to discriminate against the socioeconomically poor and disadvantaged students, since they are the most dependent on the school as the source for their academic learnings. —Dr. Larry Lezotte
