    FACULTY DEVELOPMENT

     

    ​In 2010, I was selected to be chair of the Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) Committee for the Art Institute of Washington (AIW). The QEP's aim was to enhance teaching methods and strategies throughout AIW and focused on teamwork. I held instructional meetings for all faculty and created positive change throughout the institution. Below are activities I designed and directed as part of faculty, student and staff development events.

    STUDENT ENGAGEMENT

     

    QEP AIW All School Presentation

    September 23, 2011

     

    "First Year Experience" and "Second Year Experience" student groups teamed up with the QEP for week-long series of activities that combined student engagement initiatives and teamwork.

     

    Events included:

    ​

    Creative Minds Festival

    Held at the Rosslyn Space in downtown Arlington, the festival involved students presenting their work to the public and fellow students. A live DJ set up an atmosphere for the students to come and socialize and view their fellow classmates' work. Food and live music from the Audio Department was included to create an "art fair" experience.

     

    Scavenger Hunt

    This team-based event had teams of AIW students collect items from the local community to help foster teamwork and develop new friendships.

    ​

    Video Game Tournament

    Using the cooperative and team-based modes in Halo, a team-based video game tournament engaged our numerous students from game art and design.

    STAFF DEVELOPMENT

     

    QEP AIW Staff Development Events

    Cooking Based Team-Building Event

    December 19, 2011

    ​

    As QEP chair, I organized a staff-oriented cooking team-building event. Staff worked in small groups to prepare each dish to complete a day's menu. Staff worked as a kitchen to finish the meal on time in a safe and productive manner.

     

    How Staff Used Teamwork at AIW

      Within their departments, staff helped students with their financial, technical, and admissions

      needs. The staff also worked as a  larger support group to achieve and maintain the financial, technical

      and mental environment for the entire school.

       * Encouraged multidisciplinary work where teams cut across organizational divides.

       * Fostered flexibility and responsiveness, especially the ability to respond to change.

       * Promoted the sense of achievement, equity and camaraderie essential for a motivated workplace.
