On-Site Quality Improvement Workshops Information
We are pleased to announce that Cornesky & Associates recently received
another renewal of a foundation grant to conduct on-site Total Quality
Management (TQM) / Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) workshops for five
institutions of higher education. With our consulting fee of $500 per
participant being covered by the grant, we can offer workshops at your
institution for travel expenses and the price of the workshop materials. The
travel expenses are from Greenville, South Carolina. The workshop materials
are $30 per participant. Each workshop is limited to 20 participants. If you
are interested in bringing any of these professional development
opportunities to your institution, please contact us before March 15, 2000.
Your President / CEO must submit a one page letter proposal that should:
1. Describe your institution and the student population served
2. Identify the workshop or workshops and the dates requested
3. Indicate how the workshop(s) will benefit your institution
4. Indicate the number of participants (20 maximum per workshop).
Email proposals are acceptable, however, if your institution is approved, a
hard copy of the letter must be received before final arrangements can be
made. A selection committee is scheduled to meet and make the selections on
March 16, 2001. All workshops must be completed before May 18, 2001.
The two-day, in-depth workshops that have been approved are either classroom
oriented or curriculum building oriented. They are described below.
I. Classroom Oriented
Turning CQI Into Classroom Practice: A Collaborative Approach
This workshop introduces faculty to the "systems" approach where the
classroom is examined from the perspectives of four systems: 1)
thought-leader, 2) learning, 3) continuous improvement, and 4) reward. The
workshop also introduces 15 CQI tools and techniques for effective teaching
and assessment.
II. Curriculum Oriented
How to Use Quality Function Deployment to Build a Curriculum that Meets the
Needs of Your Customers
This workshop is intended to provide faculty with a flexible but disciplined
planning and implementation procedure in which the customer's wants and
needs
are deployed throughout the curriculum of the academic major. The procedure
is known as Quality Function Deployment (QFD). It provides a supporting
system for making sure that customers' wants and needs are sought after and
heard and then incorporated into the processes and systems of the department
courses.
