For whom is this workshop intended?

A school accreditation programme encourages continuous school improvement through a process of self-study and peer evaluation. Schools participating in accreditation are visited by a team of experienced international educators who play an active role in evaluating the progress of the school, at the Team Visit stage, against high quality and rigorous international practices.

This workshop is designed for school leaders, teachers, and business managers from CIS Member Schools that are accredited or are candidates for accreditation who wish to be considered for volunteer service on Accreditation Visiting Teams for the first time, as well as for experienced volunteers who wish to become familiar with the CIS 8^th Edition Accreditation Protocol that was developed with input from all partners and the constituency served.
 

How will the workshop prepare me for participation in an Accreditation Team Visit?

The workshop will cover various aspects of participation on a team, including:

• analysing a school’s Self-Study
• becoming familiar with the Visiting Team Report format;
• identifying major school strengths and areas for improvement;
• reaching a team decision for a recommendation about accreditation.

A more detailed list of outcomes can be obtained from the Accreditation workshops page on the CIS Web site (http://www.cois.org/AccreditationWorkshops).
