The Panel feels that the Institute has
developed approaches to education quality work that are
both effective and consistent with its mission of improving
school teaching, and that these approaches have become
significantly embedded in the institution's culture. The

where internal quality assurance and improvement processes
are operating at a level that provides confidence in the
quality of its programmes and graduates. Given an appropriate
degree of structural stability, the Panel is confident
that the Institute's education quality work, and the quality
of its educational provision, will continue to improve. |

There is an evident culture
of cohesion and collegiality on campus.。 |

There is an atmosphere and
demonstration of cohesion and collegiality that is very
prevalent, and that finds particular expression in the
teamwork that goes into the design and development of
academic programmes. This 'culture', associated with the
desire for continuous improvement, is an important asset
that needs to be sustained and fostered even more widely
on campus. |

The culture of peer observation
and support that is evident in many units. |
