Deming's 14 Points, teacher style!
The "Teacher's Version" in the table below is a list of "Ten Commandments" for teachers, and it comes from developingteachers.com. (It's actually written for language teachers, but it seems reasonable for many subjects, if not all.) It's not a perfect match with ten of W. Edwards Deming's 14 Points for industry, but it's reasonably close.| Teachers' Version | Deming's Version |
| Lower inhibitions | Drive out fear and build trust so that everyone can work more effectively. |
| Encourage risk-taking | Remove barriers that rob people of joy in their work. |
| Build self-confidence | Adopt and institute leadership for the management of people, recognizing their different abilities, capabilities, and aspirations. |
| Develop intrinsic motivation | Eliminate slogans, exhortations, and targets asking for zero defects or new levels of productivity. |
| Engage in cooperative learning | Adopt a new philosophy of cooperation (win-win) in which everybody wins and put it into practice by teaching it to employees, customers and suppliers. |
| Use right-brain processes | Cease dependence on mass inspection to achieve quality. |
| Promote ambiguity tolerance | Eliminate numerical goals, numerical quotas and management by objectives. Substitute leadership. |
| Practice intuition | End the practice of awarding business on the basis of price tag alone. Instead, minimize total cost in the long run. |
| Process error feedback | Institute a vigorous program of education and self-improvement. |
| Set personal goals | Improve constantly, and forever, the system of production, service, planning, of any activity. |
