"The AdvancED Standards are the foundation for both the school and district accreditation processes."
The seven standards and accompanying indicators were built on NCA CASI and SACS CASI standards and are tied directly to research on factors that impact student learning.
The seven standards address the following areas:
Accredited schools and districts adhere to the standards and use them as a tool for ongoing self-assessment. They use the standards to continually ask themselves, "What more can we be doing to benefit our students?"
Accredited schools and districts use a disciplined approach to document and maintain evidence of their adherence to the standards. They are continually ready to answer the question, "How do we know we meet the standards?"
The standards for schools apply to all categories of schools with the exception of postsecondary schools and Latin America schools.
