Writing the Initial Accreditation ReportIf you’ve opted for AAQEP’s initial accreditation pathway, this webinar will guide you in developing an Initial Accreditation Report (IAR) for your self-study. The IAR presents your chosen measures and documents evidence of your program’s capacity and effectiveness. In this webinar, we’ll review the key components of the IAR and offer sample organizational strategies for documenting your work in order to effectively communicate your narrative and demonstrate that your program meets fundamental quality requirements. |
