Montgomery County Public Schools - Baldrige Education Criteria for Performance Excellence
The Baldrige Education Criteria for Performance Excellence is an exciting system-wide initiative. It has added rigor to school and office improvement planning focused on continuous improvement to achieve results for
all students.
All stakeholders – students, parents, staff, and community members – are invited to participate in all phases of this school improvement process.
In March, 2005, MCPS was named the winner of the state’s most prestigious award for organizational performance excellence—the U.S. Senate Productivity Award.

We’ve made a transformation from a teaching system to a learning system by “igniting a passion for learning.” Deming said all children come to school with this passion for learning and our job as educators is to increase the successes and decrease the failures students experience so they retain their natural passion.
Baldrige Education Criteria
1. Validate the need for improvement.
2. Clarify organizational purpose, goals, and measures.
3. Adopt and deploy Baldrige as the organization-wide approach to continual improvement.
4. Translate the Baldrige approach into aligned action at all levels of the organization.
5. Analyze the results and make improvements.
6. Repeat the cycle.

The
Baldrige is a set of criteria that assess a combination of three interrelated
aspects common to all systems. It is first of all a measure of the
capacity of various system components and connections. The Baldrige Criteria
force us to assess the system components and determine how well they are working
together to achieve the organization's goals. Baldrige is also a process
for determining which components and which connections add value and which do
not add value. Finally, Baldrige is a blueprint for guiding the
development of a well-connected system capable of high performance. -
The Baldrige Criteria, when
fully implemented, result in a well-aligned, well-coordinated and integrated
system of practices capable of meeting and exceeding the needs, expectations,
and requirements of its stakeholders. - 2 more annotations...
