What is the QEP?
The QEP is a focused plan that engages the entire Mason community – faculty, students, staff, and administrators – in addressing a well-defined topic that contributes to institutional improvement through strengthening student learning. The five-year plan must be based on the scholarship and research around best educational practices, with clear outcomes for student learning and assessment. The plan will include resources for implementation; implementation of our QEP will begin fall 2011.
Why does Mason need a QEP?
George Mason University is in the beginning stages of preparing for our 2011 reaffirmation of accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). In order to maintain Mason’s accreditation, we must document that Mason meets compliance standards. Additionally, and new to the reaccreditation process, we must create a Quality Enhancement Plan, or QEP, a five-year plan for enhancing student learning. |
