Overall, this training strengthened my confidence in a quality enhancement approach to exploring and ensuring the quality of educational programmes—not just in Music, but more widely in the various Arts & Humanities disciplines I liaise with. The critical friend/peer review aspect was powerful and, for me, emphasised that working with a curious approach can impact programmes, opening up conversations, and result in quality improvement. The collaborative nature of the training made it even more enriching.
Being a full-time faculty member with past responsibilities on the board of directors and other coordination domains it is truly important to update my knowledge on the evaluation procedures for my professional engagement with the institution and support on the councils I am part of.
This training really emphasised the significance of an enhancement approach, bringing people together to be curious and interested in programmes or institutions and to pose insightful questions to those being reviewed. It is a model of 'working with'.
