External Audit Panel

The External Audit Panel is a group of nationally respected teacher education scholars and researchers. Their expertise in similar research projects allows them to carefully critique and advise the TQP Leadership Team on all aspects of the project. This panel meets annually prior to the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education (AACTE) conference. TQP is very appreciative of the opportunity to interact with these researchers who wise counsel continues to help refine the project.
