Editorial Reviews

Explains how to apply quality measures at the school-system or district level of public education to improve the production of a workforce for the future. Emphasizes partnerships with business and higher education; cooperation among business, education, and state or local government; a community of parents and other stakeholders; and principles of quality management. Much of the treatment emerged from a program in North Carolina. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
