LIVE Review Commissioner Training

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18 AT 12 PM ET / 9 AM PT

If you are a member of our Council of Schools or a current Review Commissioner, you have already received the zoom link by email. If you’re interested in serving as a Review Commissioner and would like to learn more about it by joining this training, please contact us or reply here.

This training session will provide a practical walkthrough of our review process, including:

Review team roles, responsibilities, and expectations
How we read and assess self-studies
How we apply the accreditation standards consistently
How we arrive at clear, well-supported, and consistent evaluations

You will gain deeper insight into the self-study review and site visit processes. This understanding will provide more transparency, alignment, and clarity, highlighting that accreditation is a collaborative, peer-based review designed to support growth. The session will be especially helpful if you are working on a Self-Study Report, or if you're considering joining our team of Review Commissioners.
