什么是质素保证计划?

As part of the Southern Association of 大学 and Schools' (SACS) reaffirmation process, 圣安东尼奥学院 is required to develop a Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) every 10 years. The Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) addresses a single topic/issue focused on improving student learning. It should make SAC "much more intentional and focused about an important element of our mission" and help us "put in motion our creativity." 点击这里 to read more about the QEP in general.

How was the QEP Topic Selected?

The QEP process began with selecting a topic in Fall 2013. 教师, 工作人员, 学生, and community members were given the opportunity to submit ideas and suggestions via an electronic message board, 电子邮件和面谈. 然后, a college-wide committee was created to review the topics submitted and narrow down the collection of a feasible and actionable topic. 该委员会, with support and guidance from the 大学 Executive Team, chose to pursue the idea of "information literacy."

QEP介绍

圣安东尼奥学院's Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) is entitled "Fearless Learning:  Empowering Students with Information Literacy."

无畏学习QEP目标:
