3 3
4 THE OPERATION OF US ACCREDITATION Most accrediting agencies, including ACCJC, receive recognition from the US Department of Education Regional accreditation- 7 commissions, 3000 institutions The recognition process is similar to the accreditation process; review every 5 years Other accrediting agencies- national faith-related, national career-related, programmatic 4
5 THE PURPOSES OF REGIONAL ACCREDITATION Provide quality assurance to the public, to students, to other institutions that an institution is achieving its stated mission Give credibility to degrees and credentials awarded to students for transfer and employment Stimulate institutional improvement through evaluation, planning, implementation and evaluation again Gain access to federal funds 5
6 THE QUALITY ASSURANCE PURPOSE OF ACCREDITATION Conduct regular reviews of quality (six-year cycle) through a comprehensive evaluation Monitor certain aspects of institutional quality (USDE Regulations) Student Achievement/Institutional Effectiveness Substantive Changes/Distance Learning Financial Integrity/Financial Aid Issues Integrity in Relation to Students, the Public Inform the USDE, Students the Public of Results Evaluation reports and visits as needed 6
7 THE IMPROVEMENT PURPOSE OF ACCREDITATION The accreditation process is designed to help institutions focus on helping students learn what they are supposed to learn, and to complete courses, certificates, degrees, and transfer or get jobs. The accreditation process builds institutional capacity for educational excellence and institutional effectiveness that produces desired forms of student success. Accreditation aims to develop a culture of continuous quality improvement through an ongoing cycle of program review, analysis, planning and budgeting with an emphasis on collecting and evaluating data. 7
8 ACCREDITING COMMISSION FOR COMMUNITY AND JUNIOR COLLEGES ACCJC is a subpart of Western Association of Schools and Colleges, the only agency dedicated to 2 year colleges ACCJC accredits 140 public and private institutions offering 2 year programs Region covers California, Hawaii and northern Pacific Island territories Offices are in Novato. Staff of approximately 8 employees. 8
9 WHO ARE THE ACCJC COMMISSIONERS? 5 Faculty from Member Institutions 3 Administrators from Member Institutions 1 from California Community Colleges System 1 from Pacific Institutions 1 from University of Hawaii System 1 ACSCU and 1 from ACS 1 from the private Member Institutions 5 from the public 9
10 WHAT IS THE PROCESS FOR COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW? Institutional self evaluation External evaluation by professional peers Commission evaluation -- the body of 19 Commissioners renders a judgment on the accreditation status of the institution Institutional improvement A Six to Ten Year Cycle of Review 10
11 ACCJC ACTIONS Reaffirm accreditation Reaffirm accreditation, follow-up report Reaffirm accreditation, follow-up report and visit Defer Decision Sanctions Termination Restoration 11
12 ACCJC SANCTIONS Warning- deviation from standards Probation- deviates significantly Show Cause substantial noncompliance 12
13 IF THE INSTITUTION IS FOUND TO BE NON-COMPLIANT WITH THE STANDARDS, HOW LONG MAY IT TAKE TO COMPLY? US Department of Education two-year rule Commission works with institutions as they improve, and can extend the time allowed for good cause Accreditation team recommendations feed into institutional plans for improvement ACCJC says its recognition is threatened by non-compliant institutions 13

19 ROLE OF ACCREDITATION LIAISON OFFICER (ALO) ACCJC communicates via CEO 2 nd point of contact is designated ALO Main duties of ALO Maintain institutional records of accreditation Organize institutional responses to Eligibility Requirements, Accreditation Standards, and Commission Policies Promote understanding of accreditation Prepare for site visits Facilitate timely reports 19
20 WHAT ARE THE ACCREDITATION STANDARDS? Eligibility Requirements (21 ERs) Standards of Accreditation (4 main standards) Commission Policies (31 of them) Operating on adopted 2014 Accreditation Standards (previous reports prepared based on 2002 version) 20
21 WHAT ARE THE FOUR MAIN ACCREDITATION STANDARDS? Standard I: Mission and Institutional Effectiveness Data-driven assessment and improvement, focus on learning Standard II: Student Learning Programs and Services Instructional, Support and Learning Services, focus on learning and student outcomes Standard III: Resources Deployment of resources toward achievement of mission, fiscal integrity maintained to insure continued operation Standard IV: Leadership and Governance Leadership to focus institution on mission and student success, roles of governance structures, CEO and governing board 21
22 IMPORTANT IDEAS EMBEDDED IN THE STANDARDS Focus on achieving institutional mission, avoiding diversion to other purposes Integrity and honesty in institutional policies and actions Focus on student outcomes completion of meaningful education, learning, demonstrable knowledge and skills Metrics and evidence used to assess institutional quality Ongoing internal Quality Assurance Practices Continuous improvement for high performance 22
23 METRICS: INSTITUTIONAL MEASURES Key metrics, or measures, must be identified by the institution to assess achievement of institutional mission These may be mission specific/ are related to the institution s set of educational programs There should be data over five years prior to the Institutional Self Evaluation Report Institution should set targets or goals, or benchmarks Institutional performance on key metrics should be examined regularly and used for decision making at the institution 23
24 Trustees Have Two Challenges: 1) Mission Directed Leadership, and 2) High Performance Setting standards of excellence and measuring performance linked to the District s goals will help meet both challenges. To perform well Trustees must be accountable as well as hold others accountable. 24
25 MEASURING PERFORMANCE The Board leads the College the Board representing the entire community establishes the mission and vision for the College and from that staff develops strategic goals reflected in college plans and methods of achieving them. The roles are iterative, the final mission and vision must be approved by the Board. The Board must then assure itself that the College goals are achieved (as an example, the 2012 target date for the completion of the SLO process as required by ACCJC). Focus on the what not the how. 25
26 METRICS: ACCJC MEASURES Common measures of institutional effectiveness include: Course completion Enrollment in next course in sequence Completion of sequences, certificates, degrees Graduation, transfer, job placement Student learning of general skills and knowledge areas broadly applicable to life and work* -- degree SLOs Student learning of specific skill sets* and knowledge associated with the area of study program SLOs *Federal and national pressures are strong in this area. 26
27 ARE INSTITUTIONS EXPECTED TO MEET ALL ACCREDITATION STANDARDS AT ALL TIMES? Member institutions agree to adhere to Accreditation Standards at all times when they seek initial accreditation Institutions should have ongoing internal quality review and quality improvement processes program review, planning, implementation of changes, assessment of learning outcomes, evaluation of institutional effectiveness Six-year cycle of accreditation checks on what should be ongoing institutional practices to review and improve quality 27
28 IMPORTANCE OF COLLEGE PLANNING DOCUMENTS Sample Planning Documents that must fit together to help organize and direct college efforts: The Mission and Vision of the College. The College s Educational Master Plan. The Facilities Master Plan, a Technology Plan, and Annual Budget. Unit Plans and Program Plans (eg. Student Equity, SSSP, Basic Skills) College resource allocation should reflect plans and priorities How does the Board hold the College accountable to assure compliance and timeliness? 28
