AIR will be offering the following virtual workshop.

Continuous quality improvement (CQI) aims to create measurable improvement in an institution’s efficiency and effectiveness in its operational practices and processes to improve student access, retention, and outcomes. This process is often used in institutional accreditation as evidence of quality processes and in efforts to measure and improve student learning. This workshop provides participants with an understanding of the CQI process, using the PDP to identify a challenge facing a particular student population, constructing an improvement plan, and creating a strategy to share this process and findings with institutional stakeholders to create buy-in and effect change.

As a result of this workshop, participants will:

• Articulate the implementation of a continuous quality improvement process and resulting implication on student success initiatives.
• Identify student population(s) requiring intentional continuous improvement strategies.
• Use the PDP dashboards to understand outcomes metrics like academic momentum and retention.
• Discuss how to share this information with institutional stakeholders to build buy-in and create change.

This intermediate-level workshop is designed for current PDP users who have experience with basic PDP dashboard navigation. The workshop focuses on the Retention/Persistence and Credit Completion Ratio dashboards, so you must be familiar with their definitions and navigation. Registration closes April 5 or when seating capacity is reached.
