The next generation of school reform

Article Abstract:

Georgia's Next Generation School Project (NGSP) has used total quality management principles to create a new generation of quality schools statewide that use parental/community support to enhance the children's overall performance. Teamwork, team planning, personalized instruction, computer-assisted instruction, and intensive training of school personnel in quality principles are the major features of the NGSP. A ten-point template modeled after W. Edwards Deming's quality model prepares students for meeting the needs of Georgia's 21st century work force.

Team empowerment: a simple and easy solution

Article Abstract:

The Quality Empowerment Survey for Teams (QUEST) is a diagnostic tool that aims to provide solutions to team problems to maximize team performance. QUEST recognizes the fact that teams are different in various aspects. Thus, it offers a different strategy for success for every team and clarifies and remediates those areas that hinder team success. QUEST can easily identify team strengths and weaknesses and therefore can formulate the appropriate corrective action in no time at all.
