Generating
claims: three steps
1. The process of generating the claims about Quality
Principle I should begin with an examination of the statements
of the goals, claims, objectives, promises, and standards published
in the institution’s catalogs, brochures, state approval/registration
reports, and Web sites describing the program’s projected
outcomes.
2. If some component of Quality Principle I
is not currently part of the program, or is not a component about
which the faculty could make a claim, then the faculty members would
need to take steps to modify the program, or their instructional
emphasis, before they can submit an Inquiry Brief. Alternatively,
the faculty might submit an Inquiry
Brief Proposal in which they would document, among other
things, the steps they propose to take to modify their instructional
program.
3. The program faculty should be able to identify
at least two measures or categories of evidence associated with
each claim.
