Future Force - Kids That Want To, Can and Do!: A Teacher's Handbook for Using TQM in the Classroom

I have used almost every idea in this book. These things really put the responsibility back on the kids. Pinellas County, FL is really into CLS and total quality management. This book gives you all the help you need to change your classroom. I would recommend this book to any teacher!

This book is filled with ideas and concepts that are simple to implement. Best of all, the kids LOVE the things we do from this book. I teach fifth grade and use this book on a daily basis in order to have "Total Quality Management" in my class. The ground rules and expectations started out this school year with a BANG and my students love that they are stockholders in the classroom. They respect each other better than I ever thought imaginable and encourage each other throughout the day! This book should be purchased by every teacher, administrator, and superintendent.

This book is a useful resource guide for teachers. It helps develop capable kids by providing them with the right 'tools' for learning in the classroom environment. McClanahan and Wicks answer the question of how to introduce quality principles into the classroom that encourage a focus on process, the customer, and continuous learning in order to improve the standard of education for students. They have designed and produced a set of principles, skills and strategies that enable children to be continuous learners, prepared for contributing in the 21st century. This book is a practical companion to Glasser's "Quality School Teacher", (1993).
