Resources for Visiting Teams - Public Schools

Thank you for volunteering your time!

Accreditation is a voluntary, peer review process which engages thousands of professional educators in school visits each year. The members of NEASC Accreditation Visiting Teams are trained to function as “critical friends” who provide commendations and recommendations to assist an institution’s growth and improvement process.

We have provided some materials online to assist you in preparing to participate on a NEASC Accreditation Visiting Team, but do not hesitate to contact our office with any questions.

Prior to your scheduled visit, your Team Chair will contact you regarding the specifics of the visit and the information on how to access the school’s Self-Reflection through the NEASC Accreditation Portal. Additional information will be provided to you through the office of the NEASC Commission on Public Schools. Lodging, meals, and reimbursement for mileage will be paid for by the host school. All Visiting Team members will receive a certificate of participation.
