TQP Team Retreat

Our TQP Team met recently to look at our goals in light of the changes on the horizon at our state level. We chose to revise our goals with actionable terms in essence allowing us to proceed with our work in a more guided way.

Here are the goals of the UNI TQP project:

• systematize a culture of effective teaching through continuous professional growth
• integrate the qualities of effecting teaching into pre-service programs
• utilize reciprocal networds to support effective teaching (the relationship piece)

The discussion was rich, the food was good and the setting peaceful as we got ourselves off campus and out of the hectic routine where we could work undisturbed by phone, email and the casual visitor. Although our work necessitates having phone, email and visitors, the moments when we can remove ourselves from these distractions and reflect on the meaning of our tasks are to be treasured.

Here is anticipating the next one!
