Slide8CoA Recommendations- March 2017Recommendation: The SAIS staff should review ways in which the schools could develop a more even approach to the writing of their school reports.Response: SAIS Accreditation Workshop attendance is now mandatory.
Slide9Recommendation:There have been situations when there has been inadequate time for compliance issues to be fully sorted out and resolved by the school prior to the arrival of the Visiting Committee. The SAIS staff should consider adjusting the timing of Pre-Visits for the fall visiting team to the early spring of the preceding year. Response: The current requirement for pre-visits is 6-9 months prior to the team visit. We request that chairs schedule the pre-visit closer to 9 months prior to the team visit.
Slide10A Second Set of
Recommendation:
The SAIS Staff should consider what vulnerabilities are inherent in the Pre-Visit which currently relies solely on the abilities and expertise the chair to discern adherence to established standards and compliance criteria that range from the basic to the complex. SAIS Staff might consider adding additional experienced personnel to the Pre-Visit or reducing the required workload.
Response: Add a second person/co-chair
when requested by the chair
to the review of the documents in the portal.

PRO TIP
Have the portal open while you are conducting interviews and on your
previsit
so you can make notes directly into the boxes.
Slide21PreVisit – what does that mean?
“The absence of these documents may delay the accreditation process”
This phrase is now in the Guidebook and in the Portal about documents and artifacts that should be present in order to substantiate that a school meets standards. Let the school know what docs or evidence they are missing so that you can see it.

Slide24VISIT – training your teamYou lead your team through a presentation to train them. Usually this is done at the start of the visit during the first two hours. You are welcome to use technology to conduct this meeting before people arrive on site (

Slide25VISIT – team assignmentsTeam members are assigned to match up with the school’s strategic goal areas (as best as possible). If you can’t tell a team member’s areas of expertise or interest from their title, just ask them. In addition to goal areas, assign team members standards for due diligence.
