Virtual Experience Overview
The BETE program has been redesigned for 2021 from an in-person, classroom course to a virtual experience, featuring online modules, self-study, and one-on-one coaching with Baldrige Master Examiners.
BETE participants will complete an independent study program from March 29 to May 14. During this time, they will:
- Complete 13 self-paced, online modules, focusing on the Baldrige Program, the Baldrige Framework, the role of a Baldrige Examiner, and how to evaluate a Baldrige application using the six-step item evaluation process.
- Apply their learning by completing a partial assessment of a fictitious case study organization against the Baldrige Criteria. Using the six-step item evaluation process, the participants will evaluate two process items and two results items.
- Receive regular, ongoing guidance, feedback, and coaching from a Baldrige Master Examiner to reinforce and enhance their learning. This includes one-hour weekly calls.
The independent study program will take approximately 50 hours to complete (about 7 hours per week).
