ABSTRACT
Now that we have reached the 21st Century, quality is no longer a
competitive advantage. Quality is merely the price of market entry.
Educators, just like businesspeople, must implement Total Quality
Management (TQM). They must then go beyond TQM. In order to prepare
children the best possible way in the competitive and dynamic
education market, teachers should integrate both TQM and creativity
into their efforts. Educators must have a future orientation and
must implement creative methods of teaching.
This workshop reviews some principles of TQM and the integration of
creativity. Then, through illustrative examples, the presentation
examines how creativity and innovation in education institutions
contribute to success.
Who Should Attend?
This workshop is suitable for all community members of Islamic
Center of Cedar Rapids as well as all teachers at ICCR weekend
school. Thus, the workshop would be useful to:
• Members of ICCR
• All teachers of the Islamic weekend school, the principal, and
administrators.
• Any brother or sister who is currently teaching or planning to
teach.
• Anyone who is interested in the subject.
