Education Criteria for Performance Excellence



The 2009-2010 Education Criteria for Performance Excellence (referred to as the Education Criteria) is used by organizations that provide educational services in the United States and its territories.

The Baldrige Criteria for Performance Excellence provide a systems perspective for understanding performance management. They reflect validated, leading-edge management practices against which an organization can measure itself. With their acceptance nationally and internationally as the model for performance excellence, the Criteria represent a common language for communication among organizations for sharing best practices. The Criteria are also the basis for the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award process.
