So I contacted ASQ (the American Society for Quality) yesterday. They are at the forefront of using quality tools in education and had a lot of input on this study. There are thousands of schools all over the nation that are using these tools. The research options are endless... I could study how these tools impact Alaskan students (what a travel opportunity!). I could identify which tools seem to be most popular and which ones teachers are finding most difficult...
So I want to think about a title to help me focus a little. I know my heart is focused on seeing the "underdog" or students who underachieve in our systems find hope.
So here is a potential title...
How Quality Tools Impact Urban Learning Organizations and the Students They Serve
This report allows me to write about the following:
Quality (Baldrige, CCI, TQM)
Tools (Data Folders, Classroom Dashboards, Plus Delta's)
Urban (The Achievement Gap, Motivation)
Learning Organizations (My conceptual framework of schools, the mental model web)
Students (How these tools impact their thinking)
The floor is open for all feedback...
