Sitting in the airport in St Louis waiting for the flight to Atlanta where I will be meeting with our good friend, Dr. Eddie Krenson. I am eagerly anticipating the rollout of our new AdvancED – NLSA integrated accrediting document. This will be a huge upgrade in the way we are able to serve our schools needing dual accreditation. It will allow Lutheran schools to use a single, integrated accreditation protocol to receive dual accreditation in 30 states. In Atlanta I will receive training that will allow me to train others to serve on validation teams. I plan to offer portions of this new training for the first time, next week in Milwaukee.
Other exciting accrediting news…I have been invited to participate in the WASC team review of Concordia, Hanoi. I will be traveling to Hanoi march 6-11 to participate with the leaders of WASC in that joint accreditation project. If all goes as expected, Concordia will be a candidate to become our very first NLSA accredited school in Asia. Praise God for the progress that He continues to allow us to make in serving Lutheran schools with accreditation.
And finally, we are making progress in building our new joint accreditation document with WASC. A group of accreditation leaders from PSD and CNH Districts have been spearheading the effort and we continue to move forward. It is hope that the document can be completed and approved for use by the beginning of the 2012-13 school year. Many thanks to Kim Violette for encouraging our ongoing progress with this important project.
