Initially, the QEP should focus on the planning and implementation process Next, our focus is evaluating the overall goals of the QEP to look at the impact on student learning and expected outcomes
In reference to the QEP…Student learning is at the heart of the mission of all institutionsShould complement the institution’s planning and evaluation process
Institutional Effectiveness Institutional effectiveness is the systematic, explicit, and documented process of measuring performance against the mission in all aspects of an institution. • Core Requirement 2.5 • Comprehensive Standard 3.3.1 • Comprehensive Standard 3.4.1
Core Requirement 2.5 – process for producing improvement and accomplishing it’s mission • The institution engages in ongoing, integrated, and institution-wide research-based planning and evaluation processes that incorporate a systematic review of programs and services that (a) results in continuing improvement and (b) demonstrates that the institution is effectively accomplishing its mission.
Comprehensive Standard 3.3.1 - requires that an institution identify and evaluate outcomes and demonstrate improvement based on the results of that evaluation. The institution identifies expected outcomes for its educational programs and its administrative and educational support services; assesses whether it achieves these outcomes; and provides evidence of improvement based on analysis of those results.
How has the QEP been integrated into the institution’s ongoing planning and evaluation processes?
Typical Process for IE • Mission Statement • Strategic Plan (Institutional Goals and Objectives) • Annual Unit/Department (Objective, Strategy, Outcomes) • Program and Learning Outcomes - Assessments
Mission Statement Strategic Plan (Institutional Goals and Objectives) Annual Unit/Department (Objective, Strategy, Outcomes) Program and Learning Outcomes - Assessments IE Process
Goals of the QEP • Common understanding amongst faculty and staff of CT model • Implementation of CT across the curriculum • Student integration of CT beyond higher education
Writing a Unit Plan for QEP • What are the goals tied to? • We have objectives/strategies • outcomes • Mission Statement • Strategic Plan
Mission Statement The mission of Angelina College is to provide quality educational opportunities and services to aid students in reaching their full potential.
Strategic Plan • ACCESS • QUALITY INSTRUCTIONAL OUTCOMES • PARTNERSHIPS - QUALITY OF LIFE • LEARNING ENVIRONMENT • RESOURCE MANAGEMENT • PERSONNEL LEADERSHIP • IMAGE
