Rezensionen

The author's expertise as a classroom teacher and intricate knowledge of W. Edward Deming's continuous improvement model make this book valuable reading... Recommended. CHOICE, July 2010 At a time when there's widespread agreement that school management must be smarter and more effective, Rodney Larson has penned a book that promises to help to illuminate that path. Drawing on a teacher's practical understanding of the world of schooling, Larson explains how we can bring William Edwards Deming's influential teachings regarding design and quality control into schooling in a way that works. Decrying piecemeal management reform, he calls for a wholesale rethinking of how we approach schooling and serve students. This provocative book is sure to stimulate fresh thinking and debate among those seeking to improve our nation's schools. -- Frederick M. Hess, director of education policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute
