| Description: | HYBRID COURSE. NOT AVAILABLE TO VIRTUAL LEARNERS. ENROLLMENT BY INSTRUCTOR CONSENT. While federally-mandated testing and reporting systems for P-12 public schools are fairly well-known and visible to members of the public, accreditation processes for K12 public schools and in higher education are far more opaque. Periodically we may read that a public school has been closed, or that a college or university has been placed on probation or closed by its accreditor-but what does that mean? What has the school done, or failed to do, that led to this kind of penalty? In this small seminar course, we will examine ways in which accreditation processses and requirements are structured, including shifts in those structures in response to changing educational policy and ideology since the mid-20th Century. As a part of a case-study process to develop deeper understanding of accreditation processes in higher education, students in the course will assist in the self-study process for the Department of Education Studies during the semester. The study process will include exploration and articularion of desired departmental programming, goals and outcomes. Students will participate in activities including survey design, and data collection and analysis processes. |
