Salute to Quality 2011: Celebrating Innovation & Success in Education

The Salute to Quality, now in its third year, continues to bring big crowds and big ideas! The Carolina First Center for Excellence(CFCE) hosted the Salute to Quality event on April 28, showcasing CFCE Partner Schools and their successes in Continuous Quality Improvement.

The Greenville Chamber was the setting for over 200 educators, business, and community leaders to view displays and share best practices in Continuous Quality Improvement. CFCE sends a huge thanks to our 46 partner schools and the 1700 educators that we partner with to reach more than 18,000 students. Congratulations on your efforts and successes in Quality!

Educators took part in the great networking opportunities with other CFCE partner schools and the ability to engage with the business community. Teachers shared comments about the experience as a "wonderful opportunity to collaborate and share about continuous quality improvement and quality tools" and valued the "new thoughts and ideas" they learned. Students were also present to discuss their data notebooks and how they used the PDSA (Plan Do Study Act) problem-solving process in their classrooom.


The Carolina First Center for Excellence would like to thank Aerie Engineering, Greenville Federal Credit Union, Jason's Deli, TailLights Dogs, and Skylight Studios for their support of this year's event.
