As part of the reaffirmation of accreditation process, every SACS COC institution is required to develop a Quality Enhancement Plan (or QEP) that “identifies key issues emerging from institutional assessment and focuses on learning outcomes and/or the environment supporting student learning and accomplishing the mission of the institution." In 2014, Daytona State College will implement its QEP: Learn to SOAR (Students Optimizing Academic Resources). This session will showcase a variety of techniques to identify and develop a QEP topic. It was an educational, interactive session that provided participants with steps to begin the process of developing a successful QEP topic.
