Teachers and administrators with little or no knowledge of quality principles are the intended readership of this guide. Benjamin (Indiana U., Bloomington) proposes that his design for implementing quality in education is more likely to produce measurable results than other similar programs, because it is more concise and implicitly demands more accountability from faculty. Part one introduces the quality rubric and its core values: personal accountability for learning, alignment, continuous improvement, data-driven decision making, teamwork, results focus, high expectations, focus on the vital few (literacy and standards mastery), leadership, and systems thinking. Parts two and three lay out strategies for positioning learning within an integrated systems framework that provides a logical "flow" to the work, at both the classroom and schoolwide levels. The appendix contains the quality rubric in brief in terms of an achievement hierarchy (levels 1-4), as well as a sample award certificate for quality achievement.
