Abstract: DoDEA regulation 2010.1 requires accreditation of all DoDEA schools in order to provide the activity, the military community, and the public at large with an external review of the quality of the educational programs provided to DoDEA students. DoDEA’s accreditation process is based on the processes and standards of the North Central Association Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement (NCA CASI)/AdvancED NCA. The Quality Assurance Review team’s interview process includes students and parents/guardians. The purpose of the interview session is to help the team gain a deeper understanding of the school improvement process at the school. The review team uses the information to review how well each school is progressing and adhering to the AdvancED standards, provide commendations on areas in which each school is excelling, and recommendations that will help each school continuously improve. The review team also uses the information gathered to make an accreditation status recommendation at the end of the visit.
