LeadershipSkills

Are students learning what employers actually need?

This question sits at the heart of our issue of QEDNews, and it’s one we must keep asking.

Education is evolving. Industry is evolving.
Our alignment must evolve with it.
As the ASQ Education Division, our mission is clear: mind the gap and actively bridge it.

We invite educators, leaders, and quality professionals to join us in strengthening the connection between classroom learning and workforce readiness.

Every insight, every contribution, every improvement effort brings us one step closer to preparing graduates who are truly industry-ready.
Be part of the movement.

The ideal moment for educators and academic leaders to pause and reflect on where the system struggled the most. Look for processes that repeatedly slowed progress, such as assessment workflows, student feedback cycles, course scheduling, curriculum mapping updates, or interdepartmental communication.

These “friction points” typically hide opportunities for major improvement. By mapping them, analyzing their root causes, and simplifying the steps, you reduce rework for faculty, improve turnaround times for students, and strengthen overall academic quality.

When educators focus on streamlining even one or two such processes, the ripple effect is immediate:
✓ clearer expectations
✓ higher student satisfaction
✓ reduced faculty burnout
✓ more time for innovation and teaching
✓ better alignment with accreditation and quality standards

Start the year by tightening your foundation, so 2026 begins with smoother systems, stronger engagement, and fewer surprises.

As we step into 2026, the Education Division stands at an exciting turning point, one shaped by your insights, your leadership, and your commitment to elevating quality in education. This year is about creating real movement: clearer pathways for learning, stronger partnerships across sectors, and systems that genuinely support the success of students, educators, and institutions around the world.

Together, we’re not just strengthening the ASQ community — we’re advancing the global quality movement in education and setting a higher standard for excellence in the years ahead.

On behalf of the Education Division Member Leadership Team, we invite all members of the ASQ Education Division to join us for our year-end webinar on December 17. 🎉

Dr. Ellen Belitzky, Chair, and Lewis Borrelli, Chair-Elect, will open the session with a warm welcome and an overview of our shared vision for the coming year.

Come see what we accomplished in 2025, learn about our strategic objectives for 2026, and explore the organizational structure that will support our work in the year ahead.

We look forward to connecting with you on December 17.

💭 Success doesn’t come occasionally, it comes from consistency.

In education, excellence isn’t built in moments of inspiration; it’s built in the quiet rhythm of continuous improvement, in classrooms, leadership, and systems.

Every process we refine, every reflection we make, every learner we empower adds up to lasting quality.

At the ASQ Education Division, we believe that quality in education is consistency in action, the daily commitment to do better, teach better, and lead better.

🌿 Join our community on myASQ to explore how consistency drives excellence and how you can be part of systems that learn and grow every day.
