Accreditation 100

2023-04-17 11:00 - 12:00

Today we examine standards-setting activity of non-profit trade associations that set academic standards; with specific interest in how these organizations reference other organizations that set standards for the built environment.

The criteria for an organization to be recognized as a “college” or “university” is dependent on the jurisdiction. There are common characteristics and criteria that many institutions must meet to be officially designated as a college. Keep in mind that these criteria can differ between countries and regions. Here are some general considerations:

Legal Recognition: The institution must be legally recognized by the relevant educational authorities in its jurisdiction. This recognition often involves meeting specific standards related to academic programs, faculty qualifications, facilities, and governance.

  • Accreditation: Many countries have accreditation processes that evaluate the quality of education provided by institutions. Accreditation is often granted by independent accrediting bodies that assess factors such as curriculum, faculty credentials, facilities, and student outcomes.
  • Degree-Granting Authority: Colleges are typically authorized to confer academic degrees, such as associate degrees, bachelor’s degrees, or higher. The authority to award degrees may be granted by government education agencies or other relevant authorities.
  • Faculty Qualifications: Colleges are expected to have qualified faculty members with appropriate academic credentials and expertise in the subjects they teach. Faculty qualifications often include advanced degrees in their respective fields.
  • Facilities and Resources: Colleges should have adequate facilities and resources to support the delivery of quality education. This includes classrooms, laboratories, libraries, and other infrastructure necessary for academic activities.
  • Adherence to Educational Standards: Colleges are expected to adhere to established educational standards and guidelines. These standards may cover curriculum development, assessment methods, student support services, and other aspects of academic operations.
  • Governance and Administration: The institution should have a transparent and effective governance structure and administrative processes. This ensures accountability and the ability to manage the institution in accordance with educational regulations and standards.
  • Mission and Purpose: Colleges typically have a clearly defined mission and purpose related to higher education. This may involve a commitment to academic excellence, research, community engagement, or other educational goals.

It’s important to note that the specific requirements and criteria can vary widely depending on the country and its educational system. In some regions, the term “college” may be used differently, and there may be variations in the types of degrees or programs offered by institutions with this designation. As such, it’s advisable to refer to the specific regulations and guidelines established by the educational authorities in a given jurisdiction.

    We start National Poetry Month in the United States and Canada every year with an inquiry into changes in the (meaning of) definitions at the foundation of best practice literature; frequently the subject of sporty debate among experts writing codes and standards for the built environment of education communities.

    In the United Kingdom, National Poetry Month is celebrated in October, and it is known as "National Poetry Day" which has been observed since 1994. It is an initiative of the Forward Arts Foundation, which aims to encourage people to read, write and perform poetry.

    Other countries also have their own poetry celebrations, such as World Poetry Day, which is observed annually on March 21 by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) to promote the reading, writing, and teaching of poetry worldwide.

    Innovation - Standardization - Commoditization run along a continuum.  Today we unpack some of the ideas that hasten (and prohibit) leading practice discovery; how quickly goods and services become a "human right"; why all of this is relevant to education communities and why some believe that commoditization is a myth.

    From the Wikipedia

    In business literature, commoditization is defined as the process by which goods that have economic value and are distinguishable in terms of attributes (uniqueness or brand) end up becoming simple commodities in the eyes of the market or consumers. It is the movement of a market from differentiated to undifferentiated price competition and from monopolistic competition to perfect competition. Hence, the key effect of commoditization is that the pricing power of the manufacturer or brand owner is weakened: when products become more similar from a buyer's point of view, they will tend to buy the cheapest.

    Florence Nightingale is best known for her pioneering work in the field of nursing during the Crimean War (1853-1856). She led a team of nurses to the military hospital in Scutari, Turkey, where they improved hygiene, sanitation, and overall medical care for wounded soldiers. Nightingale's efforts reduced the mortality rate in the hospital by two-thirds and helped establish nursing as a profession. She became known as "The Lady with the Lamp" due to her habit of making rounds at night to check on her patients. Her work during the Crimean War revolutionized the field of nursing and laid the foundation for modern nursing practices.
