The number of staff implementing the Baldrige System continues to grow. Teams meet to discuss and evaluate the methods and tools they are using. Each month, to keep the community informed, the School and Home district newsletter highlights the system alignment efforts of staff members. The Coldwater Exempted Village Schools community and staff have discussed the need for a current survey of different stakeholders to identify needs and interests of the customer at each level of the system. Community groups and businesses would like students to become team oriented and understand the value of work ethic and community.
Staff is surveyed on a regular basis regarding professional development.
Students then use data folders to keep track of their own progress. Students who take responsibility for their own learning will be better prepared to be more responsible citizens in the local and global community.
