“It’s
time to include support and nonacademic units in quality processes.
All units contribute to educational effectiveness”
Ralph A. Wolff, Executive
Director, Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges and Universities,
Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) - Moving
Beyond Compliance to a Systems Approach to Quality: Early
Reflections on the New WASC Accreditation Model |
| |
| Based on five years of research and
experimentation, the Western Association for Schools and Colleges
(WASC) accreditation model is built on a "whole systems"
approach to quality and evaluation, focusing heavily in its
multi-stage model of review on student and organizational learning.
The systemwide Quality Improvement program is a valuable
and reliable resource for the WASC Accreditation requirements
– bringing data portfolio and assessment techniques
and assistance to campuses.
