Focusing on the EXPERT #3

.............................................................

Again…. Back to Deming suggestion…

They were success as they make quality their number-one priority after World War II

and our seeming lack of concern today that only a few students in any secondary school do

what we, or even they, would call high-quality schoolwork.

Like the automakers in the seventies who concentrated on building

LOW-QUALITY,

HIGH PROFITS cars and might have gone BANKRUPT due to unrestricted competition.

SIMILAR to our school nowadays which focused on trying to get more students to do enough work,

 even though that work is almost never high quality, to reach the low low-quality standard required for graduation.

Therefore, we could conclude here that as long as students never believe that there is quality in what they are asked to do, and the importance of their quality school work, our school will be the same for the next becoming years ahead.

THE KEY-POINT here is MAKE STUDENTS BELIEVE THAT THERE IS

QUALITY IN WHAT THEY ARE ASKED TO DO.

……………………………………………….

The problem now is how to make students doing quality work?

It’s not easy but we can do it with full effort and passion.

It is the job of manager to manage so that the workers or the students can easily see

A STRONG CONNECTION between what they are asked to do and what they believe is quality.

…………………………………………………….

Now, let’s look at the example of people mind-set about QUALITY SCHOOL.

This is not to say that private schools are actually better than public schools, but only that they are perceived to be so by many people, including many teachers.

……………………………..

I know that it would be extremely difficult to come up with and exact definition of quality education that would apply to all situations.

Even without being able to define it, however, we can almost always recognize quality when we see it.

Ask any school administrator to take you through the school and show you some HIGH-QUALITY

work in any subject area, and I am certain that you will agree that what you are shown is quality.

In this case, we would conclude that better teaching is actually better managing.

The question now is, how to have quality work by better managing?

Here's the answer...

Before we go through how to have better managing, let’s go through the main problem.

Ask our students about their school and surely most would say “BORING”

……………………………..

I am also a teacher and I know how it feels when students directly say such word.

The main complaint of our students was not that the work was too hard, but that it was boring, and this complaint was and still is valid.

For example, it is deadly boring to memorize facts that neither we, nor anyone know, will ever use except for a test in school.

The most obvious measure of the effective teachers we remember is that they were not boring; somehow or other when they asked us to do was SATISFYING to us. 

As a teacher, we are the one who responsible to make our class and students to be interested with what we are teaching in class.

Effective teacher would never make her/his students feel boring and consequently having low quality work...
