The Integral Accreditation Project
IEF recognizes the substantive and significant role that effective accreditation plays in the ongoing success of schools across the United States and around the world.
The Integral Accreditation Project works to ensure accreditation systems are able to reflect and respond to student achievement from a whole person perspective while assuring quality education for academic and vocational outcomes.
TRANSPARENCY
Disclosure that accreditation works from a whole student perspective
INTEGRITY
Demonstration how accreditation works from a whole student perspective
ACCOUNTABILITY
Data as evidence of accreditation working from a whole student perspective
Through values of Transparency, Integrity and Accountability, accreditation systems can maintain and uphold academic, financial and governance standards and frameworks for the benefit of all interested stakeholders.
While adhering to the generally accepted educational norm to ‘document your work’ (i.e., disclose, demonstrate and support with evidence), accreditation processes and procedures can function at the level of our human potential for reason and reflection.
The cognitive infrastructure we need for integral education exists today.
Let’s learn to use it!
