LIVE Review Commissioner Training, Part 2

TUESDAY, APRIL 28 AT 1 PM ET / 10 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 90-minute training session will build on our first training and continue our practical walkthrough of the AAC self-study review and site visit processes.

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.
