Summary of Information Collection 

NCA CASI/AdvancED is the largest 

accreditation organization in the United 

States, covering 30 states and 65 

countries. As part of the accreditation 

process, NCA CASI/AdvancED conducts 

Quality Assurance Review (QAR) visits 

to DoDEA schools in February and April 

of each year on a rotating schedule that 

ensures that each school is evaluated 

within a 5-year cycle. The visits are two 

days in length in order to gather data, 

information, and evidence to 

accomplish the following: 

• Evaluate adherence to the 

AdvancED standards; 

• Provide high quality feedback in the 

form of commendations and 

recommendations; and 

• Determine an accreditation status 

recommendation. 

The Quality Assurance Review team’s 

interview process includes students and 

parents/guardians. The purpose of the 

interview session is to help the Quality 

Assurance Review team gain a deeper 

understanding of the school 

improvement process at the school. The 

review team uses the information to 

review how well each school is 

progressing, provide commendations on 

areas in which each school is excelling, 

and recommendations that will help 

each school continuously improve. The 

review team also uses the information 

gathered to make an accreditation status 

recommendation at the end of the visit.

Summary of Information Collection 

Each cooperative agreement award 

recipient submitted goals and objectives 

in their application that were 

subsequently incorporated into their 

cooperative agreement awards. The 

level of achievement of these goals and 

the funds expended in the process of 

conducting the program is measured by 

the report. The government’s continued 

funding of a cooperative agreement and 

the decision to exercise an option award 

for a cooperative agreement award is 

based to a significant degree on the 

award holder’s current performance as 

measured by the report. Information 

from the report is also used to identify 

programs that may be in need of 

assistance and/or increased 

surveillance.
