One Bite at a Time: How to Eat the QM Elephant

Over the past few years, our college has been working on encouraging faculty to develop robust QM courses. However, we discovered that faculty are overwhelmed at the thought of redesigning courses to meet QM standards and recommendations. One faculty even said that taking on QM was like “eating an elephant.” We found that her views were shared by many other faculty who simply did not want to invest the time due to the fear of beginning and undertaking such a large project. Our session will demonstrate to attendants how we started and expanded QM training across campus using faculty buy-in through best practices, peer-to-peer reviews, and a six-session professional development course over three years.
