Which Quality Enhancement Plan Do You Prefer?

With our mission, strategic planning processes, your responses, and a broad array of assessment data in mind, the Quality Enhancement Plans (QEP) presented below were formed. Each has clear objectives, expectations of student outcomes and an assessment plan.  Each will also require adequate resources--human, physical and fiscal.  Please download the pdf files of each of the QEPs and read them.

• Creating a Teacher Education Learning Community Through Tiered Mentoring: A Pilot Study 
• Engaging Global Inquiry at Jackson State University 
• Enhancing Student Learning Outcomes in General Education Mathematics and English Courses Using Service Learning and Learning Communities 
• Information Literacy Instruction at Jackson State University

Selecting a transformative QEP is essential for improving the learning environment and learning outcomes at JSU and central to JSU's reaccreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS).  However, only one can be chosen and implemented.  Tell us which plans you prefer and why.  Feel free to critique, praise or make suggestions about them. 

We're off to a great start!

Behind the scenes at Jackson State, various committees are already convening to begin the process of developing a QEP plan.

Examples of QEP topics include strengthening the general studies curriculum; undergraduate research immersion; enhanced math literacy through imaginative technology; improving competencies in public speaking and extemporaneous reasoning; enhancing writing skills and analytical thinking in the humanities and sciences; and increasing global awareness.
