Abstract

Describes the total quality science laboratory at Bandini Street School in San Pedro, California, USA. At the school, students are identified as workers as well as educational customers, and teachers understand that their effectiveness is measured by having students do quality work. Explains how this is exemplified in the school’s student‐centred science laboratory where quality work is defined as having students work “up to their capacity”.
