In case you missed the announcement in NewsNotes, or at the Board meetings and various other events in the last month, TBS has received initial accreditation from both CAIS and WASC! You can read the CAIS letter here, and you can read the WASC letter here.
In other news, I (Zaq) attended a training for to be a participant on a WASC visiting committee on Monday, February 28th at National University in Sacramento. The training was led by Pat Lissik, a retired 17-year principal from Walnut Creek who has chaired over 30 visiting committees! Needless to say, he was very thorough and complete in the training. I am now talking with both WASC and CAIS to get placed on a visiting committee (or two) this spring.
This is a little bit of “downtime” in the accreditation cycle, but don’t worry, we’ll ramp back up again in the fall, as we prepare for the full self-study, which we’ll conduct January-June of 2012. In the meantime, folks at TBS are doing important work on topics like the Board bylaws, site master plan, student learning outcomes and more, all of which will contribute to our accreditation process.
Don't forget to check out the Accreditation portal (the link is to the right)!
