Effective Date | September 8, 2020 |
Organizational Scope
The Process applies to all full-time and part-time programs offered in The Michener Institute of Education at UHN (“Michener”).
Purpose
This process accompanies the Quality Assurance and Formal Program Review Policy to ensure the content and delivery of programs for which a credential is awarded within Michener are responsive, current and relevant in meeting employer, community, student and government needs.
Process
Michener’s approach to program quality assurance and improvement involves the program team (faculty and Chair) meeting to discuss and reflect on evidence about the quality of individual courses and program, making plans to improve quality, and following through on those plans. Michener support departments, such as Applied Educational Research, may be invited to join these meetings to support data analysis and interpretation and promote the operationalization of identified CQI priorities.
Systematic documentation supports the entire process.
Quality Assurance Review Core Elements

The quality assurance review can be carried out at the course and program level. Details of courses and opportunities for improvement will be discussed at end-of-semester meetings. The overall program and opportunities for improvement will be discussed annually.
