What if excellent teaching were guaranteed in every classroom? This is a guide for anyone who is serious about making that possibility a reality. The Total Quality Management (TQM) movement is rapidly taking hold in the educational system, but so far it has stopped at the classroom door. This book is a manual for the next stage: the application of TQM methods in supervising and evaluating teachers, so that quality teaching becomes an attainable goal. This book covers the procedural, legal and practical aspects of evaluating, motivating and disciplining faculty, including tenured faculty. It should be of particular use for administrators, faculty and board members in elementary, middle and senior high schools, and community colleges. The author argues for heavy reliance on supervisory/administrative evaluation practices as the most legally defensible and helpful system.
