I also put a reference page, but you may have to add any references you used for example, Nancy, make sure you reference the Baldrige graphic and the survey we are giving at the end of our presentation. I will reference all the sterling, glasser, and baldrige info that I put into the slides. I ADDED REFERENCING NOTES THERE FOR YOU TO USE AS EXAMPLES.

Who is William Glasser? • Internationally recognized psychiatrist. • Primary focus was that all students should meet academic standards before progressing to the next objective, unit, grade, etc. • His belief: Mastery of learning objectives = Progress. • Developed “Choice Theory” which explains how and why people behave. • Understanding Choice Theory will help teachers design, assess, and analyze instructional effectiveness.

Lead Manager Boss Lead Manager Laissez-faire (moving further away) (moving further away) Lead managers continually work on the system to create a non-coercive environment which encourages employees to self-evaluate and achieve quality work. However, it is essential that the lead manager is able to persuade employees to continually upgrade their system of communicating to one that builds trust.
