Essential aspects of the school improvement model are thoroughly examined in Kaizen Education Leadership, developed by Dr. Rich McGrath. As many states have received (or are seeking) waivers from the Federal No Child Left Behind program, a need to coach principals in best practices, and effective change methodologies is stronger than ever.

According to Dr. Rich McGrath, “Nowhere is change more impactful, more important, than in elementary education -- where a child's love of learning begins.” Kaizen means change. For a quarter century, Dr. Rich McGrath has been an important change agent in elementary education.

Dr. Rich McGrath is an expert in all phases of education, particularly versed in school-wide reform of inner city schools; with experience leading a school of students with over 90% poverty and over 60% English Language Learners.

Kaizen Education Blitz is part of an intensive one week program in which each of the quadrants of school improvement are critically and carefully examined. Intensive work with Elementary School Principals and other education leaders to quickly identify the areas of change producing the greatest impact. Specific metrics and deliverables are identified prior to commencement of the Kaizen Education Blitz.

Kaizen means change. According to Dr. Rich McGrath, “It is not enough to simply serve as a change agent for a week to inspire and teach transformational change in an elementary school. The monitoring component is critical to ensure fidelity and the structural commitment to ongoing change to product the best results for students.” For a quarter century, Dr. Rich McGrath has been an important change agent in elementary education. Using well-established kaizen principles, Dr. McGrath has developed a systematic way to enter an elementary school and observe, assess, and recommend change that delivers research-based recommendations for best-practices, and continued process improvement.

Dr. McGrath suggested in a recent blog that No Child Left Behind means that data integrity is urgently required because achievement gaps impact children of poverty. Many congressional representatives signed off with a wink that all our children would be reading and computing math at grade level by 2014. This lofty and admirable goal is neither realistic nor will it come to pass.
