* The summarized results should then be transferred onto a clean School Evaluation Form.
* After the results are summarized, they should be carefully discussed by ALL school personnel
as to how the rating can be improved. Special attention is given to the weak items and those
with a high percentage of “No”. The results of this discussion is to be reflected in the
“Principal’s Report.”
After completing steps 1 to 3, the principal prepares a draft, summarized report of the perceived strengths
and weaknesses in each criterion and how the school intends to address the weaknesses. This draft is then
discussed at the school’s Board meeting where its members are invited to give their input. This discussion
should be documented by the principal and included in a final document written up as “The Principal’s
Report” to be presented to the accrediting team.
Sufficient time should be allocated for the above to take place. To do a thorough job, it is recommended
that the process be spread over a period of at least six months.
One month prior to the visit of the accrediting team, the final documents should be submitted to the
mission’s education superintendent. The superintendent will then distribute copies to the AAA evaluation
team members no later than 2 weeks before the scheduled visit.
As a reminder, the following documents should be bound with an appropriate cover page:
