Welcome
We welcome you to the ASQ Education Division! We think of Quality in Education in two ways:
We have established three areas of emphasis for quality in education: K-12, Higher Education (including community colleges), and Workplace Development and Training. With each one of these areas, we support ASQ's global transformation initiative and ASQ's social responsibility movement.
Best practices include the Baldrige Education Criteria, Lean Six Sigma, and quality standards related to education.
The Education Division is holding steady with approximately 4,500 members. The Division Leadership Team works to ensure member satisfaction by evaluating and acting on responses to the annual Voice of the Customer surveys. The division publishes the open access, peer-reviewed Journal for Quality Perspectives in Knowledge Acquisition and the Division newsletter, QED News.
The Education Division supports and participates in ASQ's World Conference on Quality and Improvement.
How to Get Involved Now
The Education Division leaders are committed to creating a community for members to network and learn from others about the issues of greatest interest and concern. We believe there are many educational activities for member engagement and we invite your participation! Check out our Network Group discussions and feel free to submit your ideas, questions, comments to drive more discussion. Your feedback and suggestions always are welcome. Just contact our division chair, Norma Simons, if you have any questions.
