We are facing a $140,000,000 budget deficit in Montgomery

County Public Schools. Our work with APQC Education on Process

and Performance Management has helped us know where and

how to make intelligent budget cuts that minimize the negative

impact on college and work readiness for our students.

What is APQC's Process and Performance Management?

WE GUARANTEE YOUR SUCCESS!

When you purchase PPM Professional Development from APQC Education and select projects that

focus on cost efficiencies, we guarantee that you will find cost-savings in your district that meet

or exceed your investment with APQC. If you do not net your investment back in savings then we

will return every penny that you invested in APQC's PPM Professional Development.

Process and Performance Management (PPM) is a leadership approach

that promotes effectiveness and efficiency by linking process performance

to outcomes. The key premise to this transformative methodology is that

instructional and operational processes (e.g., teacher hiring, professional

development, data utilization) must change in order to improve outcomes

(e.g., graduation rates, instructional strategies, test scores, facilities expenses).

At APQC, we fundamentally value outcome measures but believe that theAchilles heel of Public Education in the United States is the lack of focus on Process.

People are Talking About APQC Education!

I have seen reforms come and go, programs start and stop,

consultants and vendors fly in and fly out. After only a few

training sessions, process management and improvement

can be a long term program of continuous improvementacross the district North Star has the potential to be

transformational; bringing concerned leadership teams

together to use and share critical action-oriented data to

improve the manner in which schools and districts deliver

the highest standards of teaching and learning to children.

APQC tackles efficiency and effectiveness. We need both.
