Baldrige in Education - Online Curriculum

The GSQC is pleased to be able to offer an online resource to our colleagues in education.  The Baldrige in Education Curriculum provides a self-paced overview of how the Baldrige Criteria supports education organizations, both K-12 and Higher Education.  It consists of 9 modules, each approximately 15 minutes in length and each with additional video and written resources from and about education.  This tool is most relevant to leaders of education organizations (including Boards and administrators), but is also applicable to individual educators and staff members who want to know more about how the Criteria for Performance Excellence supports education.  It is also a great resource for education organizations that want to introduce Baldrige and Performance Excellence concepts to all or part of the faculty and staff.

We are providing this curriculum to educators at no cost however a username and password is required.   See The Details below for information on registering.   For more information on the Curriculum, how to get the most out of it, or to get help in registering, contact the GSQC.

Participant in the Granite State Team Excellence Award Process as an Applicant or a Judge!

The most successful companies, public sector agencies, and health care and education organizations have discovered how they can improve results through the formation and recognition of teams.  Private and public sector organizations are relaizing just how important work teams can be in terms of reducing costs, saving money, fostering innovation, and boosting bottom-line results.

The Granite State Team Excellence Awards program (GSTEA) is being established for the purpose of encouraging the formation of work teams, fostering their ability to perform systematic continuous process improvement, and formally recognizing organizations for their teams’ accomplishments.

This assessment process provides an opportunity to compare your team’s efforts toward project and process improvement with the best… and get the recognition you deserve! This assessment process also provides an opportunity for individuals to enhance, and be recognized for their ability to guide process teams by participating as Program Judges.

Key Dates:

• Judges Training: Tuesday, December 13, 2011

The GSTEA is based on the American Society for Quality’s (ASQ) International Team Excellence Award (ITEA) and uses the same criteria.  See the attachments for more details on the process and how to apply.
