Abstract: "This is a book for principals and school leaders in the central office or at the building level. The book was written to build knowledge and give support to these leaders because experience shows that when they use the Baldridge framework and understand how the criteria are integrated, as well as utilize quality tools and continuous process improvement, outstanding results are achieved."
