Teaching Quality Assurance
Teaching Quality Assurance (TQA) is concerned with reporting,
monitoring, record-keeping, and decision-making. It is not concerned
with the actual content (curriculum) of our teaching, nor the actual
teaching methods employed. It is intended to ensure that our teaching
has an appropriate framework within which all policy, administrative
and procedural issues are attended to.
