    The mission of the Baldrige program is to promote excellence and to improve the economic strength and competitiveness of U.S. businesses and organizations. Any small or medium sized organization (public or private) can apply to participate. Rather than "reinvent the wheel" corrections agencies could utilize national and/or local Baldrige program criteria as a way to define, articulate, and measure themselves and create customized action plans to highlight their current strengths and reach even higher levels of functioning.

    "Through this document, I am trying to accomplish two things. First, I am attempting to weave together two sets of standards for school leaders, the Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium (ISLLC) Standards for School Leaders (2008) and the National Educational Technology Standards for Administrators (NETS-A) (2009). Second, I am trying to map technology tools/applications onto those standards. My hope is that this will become a guidance document for anyone who works with sitting and aspiring school leaders and who wants to better bring together the fields of educational leadership and educational technology."
