NCAAA Standards Guiding Progress

During the summer, the CLT had submitted the required Self-Evaluation Scales report. Dr. Abusalah commended the diligent work, and shared that the next stage in the process was the submission of the Self-Study Report. This report substantiates each conclusion drawn in accordance with the NCAAA standards. These standards encompass the mission and goals, program management and quality assurance, teaching and learning, students, faculty members, learning resources, facilities, and equipment.

The Self-Study Report follows a three-pronged framework: the identification of specific policies, a brief explanation of the procedures for implementing those policies, and a comprehensive assessment loop which reviews and evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of each policy and effort.

SSR's Core Framework:

1. Identify Policies

2. Explain Procedures

3. Assess Strengths/Weaknesses

Dr. Abusalah: "Very happy with your work... CLT's capabilities and commitment are clear."

Expressing his confidence in the CLT's ability to complete this next accreditation milestone successfully, Dr. Abusalah stated, "I am very happy with your work. The CLT's capabilities and commitment are clear, and the faculty's enthusiasm is palpable. I wish to see the Bachelor of Arts in English program accredited and I am committed to providing necessary assistance throughout the process."
