Education and Information Sessions
May 28, 2021 - Annual Educators Workshop
In this year’s workshop we celebrated programs’ success at maintaining compliance with the Standards during COVID-19 and the value of accreditation for various stakeholders. We also explored the peer review process - who should be on the team, and what resources are needed for consistency in evaluation. Have a listen!
May 27 2020 - Program Evaluation Workshop
The purpose of this workshop was to start the conversation on what changes may be necessary to Standard 4: Program Evaluation. Listen to hear educators’ experiences regarding their current program evaluation responsibilities and how they could be captured to demonstrate compliance with the standard. Many thanks to the program coordinators and instructors who participated. Our Standards Revisions are currently scheduled to begin this Fall and we look forward to further discussions and input from all stakeholders..
