  1. Tips, Strategies, and Best Practices for Team Chairs Debra G. Klinman, Ph.D. Ellie A. Fogarty, Ed.D. Vice Presidents, MSCHE

  2. Overall Approach Keys to a successful Team visit: • Analyze the Self-Study within the context of the host institution’s mission • Refer to MSCHE publications (Characteristics of Excellence, Team Visits) • Keep in mind that the goal of the Self-Study process is to encourage continuous improvement • Verify compliance issues on Certification Statement • Be collegial, organized, and prepared

  3. Before the Visit • Use the preliminary visit to ensure institutional readiness • Review draft of the self-study report • Meet key administrators & steering committee • Approve accommodations & preliminary schedule for campus meetings • Communicate with your Team members • Emphasize preparation and mutual respect

  4. During the Visit • Remain flexible and remain in charge • Don’t over schedule – you will need to troubleshoot • Organize and lead Team meetings • Reach Team consensus about overall institutional compliance with Standards • Prepare a draft Team report including all major findings • Deliver the oral exit report – don’t mention the Team’s proposal for Commission action

  5. After the Visit • Meet deadlines sent to you by Commission staff • Submit evaluations of Team members • Prepare Confidential Brief and submit it only to MSCHE • Participate fully as a member of the Committee on Evaluation Reports in Philadelphia • Understand that the Team’s proposal for Commission action may change through the deliberations of Committee or the full Commission

  6. Throughout the Process • Be prepared to handle unusual situations • Remember that you can always contact the host institution’s MSCHE liaison with any questions or concerns • Refer to MSCHE publications (Characteristics of Excellence, Team Visits)
