我院教师参加AACSB国际认证标准辅导会

为加深对AACSB国际认证标准中“学习保障（Assurance of Learning，简称AoL）”标准的理解，7月16-17日，我院10位教师参加了AACSB国际认证辅导会。

本次会议邀请台湾辅仁大学前副校长李天行教授，详细解读了AACSB认证标准中关于AoL标准的各项工作要求，并从国际认证评估专家视角介绍了AoL工作的重点和难点。

北京交通大学、西南财经大学认证中心的专家也分别介绍了各自学校在国际认证中的做法和经验。专家们强调，学习保障（AoL）是AACSB国际认证的重中之重，也是学院教学质量提升的必由之路。做好学习保障工作，需要学院做好顶层设计，分管本科和研究生教学的学院领导全程参与，任课老师全员参加。

我院老师认真学习，积极参与交流，进一步熟悉了AACSB国际认证的各项要求，为我院AACSB认证的顺利推进打下了坚实的基础。我院将在现有学习保障体系的基础上完善AoL体系，切实落实学习保障体系，以AACSB国际认证为抓手，努力把我院建设成为高水平特色商学院。
