BOOK

 

Continuous Improvement in the                  Science Classroom

 

Jeff Burgard wrote this book while teaching middle school. He spent 4 years developing a practical, common sense adaptation of Dr. W. Edwards Deming’s proven theories from Quality Management for his classrooms.

 

This book forms the basis of GATEWAY TO MASTERY. Written specifically as a “how to” book, this easy-to-read reference is full of first hand stories and wonderful science examples, and is of great value to teachers in all curricular areas and grade levels. It may be purchased through American Society for Quality or Amazon.com
