GATEWAY TO MASTERY® is an
unconventional “classroom up” approach to school improvement that
fundamentally changes interrelationships within the school/classroom to
improve enthusiasm, knowledge and performance of students. This powerful
management style is based on Quality Management/Continuous Improvement
philosophy of Dr. W. Edwards Deming, which emphasizes removal of blame and
improvement of the system.
It allows students to take ownership of their learning and enables educators to understand and improve their learning system through utilization of data and feedback.
The
course is facilitated by
Jeff and Jacquie Burgard,
who bring these concepts to life through theory and practical application.
Participants will learn and experience a proven flexible philosophy that
addresses current challenges in education while acquiring techniques that
can be implemented immediately.

"GATEWAY TO MASTERY challenges educators to understand and analyze
their
educational system, whether that system is a district, school, or classroom.
Using straightforward, well-designed, well-researched and non-faddish ideas.
It
allows teachers to continually improve their classroom system to increase
student academic performance and simultaneously improve student
motivation
for learning."
