Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.
I'm learning that you must answers in a precise manner that addresses what the accreditors are asking. You can't assume with vague answers.
This section reaffirmed my understanding that accreditation administrative criteria are necessary to ensure that institutions have the necessary administrative structures and processes in place to support their mission and maintain quality and effectiveness.
I believe the best takeaway from this section is specificity. This is an instance where over explaining can do you a world of good it would seem. Be prepared to understand and answer all standards not only the ones you think would apply to your institution.
The importance of providing complete answers that actually provide the information that is being asked. It was helpful to see the complete response versus the not complete response. This will be beneficial to recall when writing narratives for accreditation.
Accreditation is a narrative process, and it's not enough to assert compliance through paraphrasing the standards.
By comprehending both the language and intention of administrative criteria, institutions can navigate the accreditation process successfully and build a solid foundation for continuous improvement and educational excellence.
I have learned that for both administrative and academic standards, it is important to understand that how an institution writes its self study report is critical to the success of its bid for accreditation.
This section relays the importance of fully responding to every criteria even if it doesn't apply to your institution. Also, it stresses the importance of answering how you comply and not just that your institution complies with the standard.
Getting to know the standards related to administrative functions, as well as interpreting them according to the institutions' own criteria.
Understanding that instituions not only need to be effective in accomplishing their mission, but they have to demonstrate it too.
Therefore, institutions have to: establish ways to measure efectiveness. This measures will help demonstrate the visiting team compliance with the standards.
We've also learnt about the importance of writing a good description of how the institution reaches the standard/s of accreditation.
