  The goal of the St. Mary’s Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP), Written Communication Excellence, is to improve our students’ written communication skills by enhancing the learning environment in our St. Mary’s Core (SMC) courses. By providing St. Mary’s faculty professional development and training through an annual Writing Excellence Institute (WEI), the QEP will change the learning environment to foster better student writing. Each year from 2016 through 2019, selected faculty members who teach SMC courses will be taught instructional design and methods by experts in written communication pedagogy. The goal of the WEI is for faculty members to know and implement best practices that develop students’ written communication skills. Ongoing peer consultation and support in January of each year will reinforce best practices. Show less
