Connecting the Dots of Accreditation

Leadership, Coherence, and Continuous Improvement

About this book

The second edition of Connecting the Dots of Accreditations offers a significant update, with approximately 35% new content and comprehensive revisions to the original text. This edition expands its scope with timely new chapters on generative AI and educational technology-featuring a contribution by Christian Talbot, CEO of the Middle States Association-as well as critical topics such as social-emotional learning, the politicization of accreditation, diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB), international accreditation, and the rise of online and hybrid schools. As the only published book focused exclusively on K–12 school accreditation in the United States, this volume remains an essential resource for educators and school leaders navigating an evolving educational landscape. Co-authors Barry R. Groves, President of WASC and a seasoned superintendent with four decades in California public education, and Marilyn S. George, WASC's Executive Vice President with over 40 years of accreditation leadership, bring unparalleled insight and expertise to this essential guide.
