The Parent Advisory Council should take a major role in ensuring parent participation. The Aboriginal community is responsible for reviewing the evidence regarding aboriginal learners and in assisting in the development of strategies for inclusion in the school growth plan. Support staff participate in the internal review process. Teachers, as part of their regular classroom activities, collect information for assessing students and record information from these assessments for the school information system. Teachers, in conjunction with students, administrators, and the Parent Advisory Council, analyze the evidence collected for the accreditation process, and develop the growth plan for the school.
School principals are responsible for leading the accreditation process.
Principals and vice-principals have a responsibility to ensure that the process encourages reflective planning and provides opportunities for school staff to set direction for improvement, growth and student learning. The superintendent of schools is responsible for recommending approval of the growth plan to the school board and ensuring that the school satisfies provincial accreditation requirements. The Board of School Trustees is responsible for approving the school growth plan. This request is made by June 30 of the year in which the external review takes place. Once the Minister confirms that accreditation standards have been satisfied, an accreditation certificate is issued to the school.
