Advanced Reviewer Webinar
Step 1: Reviewer Webinar 2 - March 2016 Video (54:23) / OR PDF
This webinar will give reviewers information about the updates that were implemented in the 2015 CEA Standards, which were the result of two years of work including review by the Standards Review Committee, a special task force, and the Commission.
Part of the webinar is also an examination of the requirements and relationship between Curriculum Standard 2, Student Achievement Standard 2, and Length and Structure of Program of Study Standard 2. Of the 44 CEA Standards, these three standards are the most frequently asked about by both reviewers and sites. Fortunately, these are also among the standards addressed and clarified by the 2015 standards updates.
Sites that began the accreditation process in 2015 were given the updated standards to use for their self-study process, so review teams will begin encountering these updated standards on site visits in 2016.
It is important to note that the intent of the CEA Standards have not changed. Editorial clarifications were made, as well as updates to the Discussion sections of several standards so that they now better explain the requirements of those standards (which, in turn, gives review teams useful new language to use in Review Team Reports), and Glossary items were added and revised.
