Total Quality Management's Challenge to Urban Schools.
Hixson, Judson; Lovelace, Kay
Educational Leadership, v50 n3 p24-27 Nov 1992
With political support, Total Quality Management principles can help urban schools redefine schools' role, purpose, and responsibilities; focus on continuous improvement; plan comprehensive leadership training; create staff development confronting staff attitudes and beliefs; use research- and practice-based information to guide policy and practice; and design comprehensive child development initiatives. Detroit's experience is described. (MLH)
