The team will be comprised of educators and a parent, and possibly a student. The External Team will write an External Report, and give recommendations to the school regarding their accreditation status. We were hoping to have this visit in the fall of 2001, but unfortunately the Ministry of Education has decided to require us to complete the visit and External Review this spring. In Years 2 - 6 of the cycle, schools complete an annual review, and evaluate their success in meeting the goals set out in the growth plan. The results of this review will be included in the Annual Progress Report.
Accreditation is a demanding, but very important, process.
In our school, the work will be coordinated by an Internal Team. Our first major task will be to gather the evidence required. This will include parent and student surveys, among other measures. It is our hope to complete the survey process by mid-December. We will provide further information, and a short update on our process in the school newsletter.
