Simplifying Accreditation Management for The Education Community
Accreditation serves as an evaluation process utilized by the education sector to assess and oversee pre-k to 12th grade schools, junior colleges and colleges, universities, and programs for quality assurance. It focuses on evaluating their practices and reviewing evidence of continuous improvement. Federal and state governments rely on accreditation bodies to ensure the continued quality of institutions and programs that receive support from them. Many educational accreditors look to technology for better ways to streamline their accreditation management process.
The Accreditation Process
Accreditation is a process that takes place periodically (typically anywhere between 3-10 years). Accreditation bodies who manage these processes need to conduct a range of activities from initial candidacy all the way through to accreditation, continuous quality improvement, and re-accreditation. Certain accreditation processes are required to meet guidelines set by organizations such as the USDE and CHEA. Typical steps in an accreditation process include:
- Managing initial applications and candidacy requests
- Conducting self-assessments
- Demonstrating compliance with accreditation standards
- Sharing summaries of student performance
- Managing site visit teams and reviews
- Facilitating site visits
- Creating site visit reports
- Tracking and monitoring issues
- Making accreditation decisions
Managing accreditation processes for multiple educational institutions or programs can be complex and time-consuming.
