Accreditation Think Tank

Accreditation Think Tank

The Stakeholder Think Tank on Accreditation implementation is a group of individuals chosen for their expertise and influence in the field. This group will work collaboratively to analyze and provide recommendations for the updated accreditation process after ARM Chapter 55 went into effect on July 1, 2023. The think tank will focus on key areas found in the new rules such as family and community engagement, student performance, and professional development, Indian Education for All, and the graduate profile in Montana's K-12 education systems.  The goal of this group is to provide guidance on the Accreditation Status Criteria Reference Guide which is used to determine the accreditation status for public schools in Montana.
