The Inquiry Brief Workshop is designed to improve participants' understanding of the TEAC accreditation process, concentrating on key concepts and tasks central to framing and producing the Inquiry Brief or Inquiry Brief Proposal.

PROGRAM and RESULTS

The Inquiry Brief Workshop is organized so that participants can return to campus with a good start on a draft Brief as well as a solid understanding of the TEAC accreditation process and the role of the Brief in that process. During the workshop, participants will construct clear, concise, accurate, and defensible claims about their programs' outcomes and learn how to select, evaluate, and use evidence to support those claims.
