“Choose a job you love,

and you will never have to work a day in your life.”

Kong Fuzi, Confucius

 

Today we dwell on titles that inform management of the education industry in the United States specifically; but also more generally in global markets where the education industry is classified as a Producer and a User of human resources.  It is an enormous domain; likely the largest.

Human Resources 100 covers skilled trade training in all building construction disciplines.

Human Resources 200 covers the range of skills needed to manage an educational setting — school districts, colleges and universities

Human Resources 300 covers higher level management of these settings.  (Representative Organization Charts)

Malcolm Gladwell’s book “Outliers: The Story of Success” explores the factors that contribute to high levels of success and achievement. The concept of the “10,000-hour rule” is one of the key ideas presented in the book.

The 10,000-hour rule suggests that it takes approximately 10,000 hours of dedicated practice to achieve mastery in a particular field. Gladwell draws on the research of psychologist K. Anders Ericsson, who studied the practice habits of experts in various domains. The book examines examples of successful individuals, such as Bill Gates, The Beatles, and elite athletes, to illustrate how their commitment to extensive practice played a crucial role in their extraordinary accomplishments.

While Gladwell popularized the 10,000-hour rule, it’s important to note that the concept has faced criticism. Some argue that the amount of practice required for expertise can vary depending on the field, the individual, and other factors. Nevertheless, “Outliers” encourages readers to consider the importance of effort, opportunity, and cultural factors in the development of success. The book goes beyond individual talent and emphasizes the role of external influences and circumstances in shaping exceptional achievement.

Higher Education Accreditation Standard

United States Department of Education

“Apology” Defense of Socrates | Plato

Accreditation is a process that involves evaluating the overall quality of an institution and its programs, including the qualifications and expertise of faculty members.  Accreditation is institution-specific, and individual professors are not typically accredited separately. Instead, the accreditation process assesses the overall effectiveness of the educational institution and its ability to meet certain standards.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

IRS 990 (Non-Profit Explorer: Council For Higher Education Accreditation

The Council for Higher Education Accreditation claims to be the national advocate and institutional voice for self-regulation of academic quality through accreditation — a non-profit organization with 3,000 degree-granting colleges and universities and recognizes 60 institutional and programmatic accrediting organizations.

Have America’s Classrooms Become Profit Centers for the Mental Health Industry? Abigail Shrier Explains.

In the United States, the accreditation of college and university programs, including the evaluation of faculty qualifications, is typically managed by regional accrediting agencies; each with hegemonic claims.  They are united with a common interest in money coming from the U.S. Department of Education which controls money flow.

While the CHEA plays a role in overseeing accrediting bodies, the direct influence on the quality of facilities lies with the institutions themselves and the accrediting agencies that evaluate them.

Accreditation standards may touch upon aspects of facilities, but the day-to-day management and improvement of facilities are typically the responsibility of the individual higher education institutions.

The regional accrediting agencies in the United States include:

  1. Higher Learning Commission (HLC) – Covers the central United States.
  2. Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) – Covers the mid-Atlantic region.
  3. New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE) – Covers the New England states.
  4. Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU) – Covers the northwest region.
  5. Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) – Covers the southern United States.
  6. WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC) – Covers the western United States.

The American National Standards Institute  is the Global Secretariat for ISO Technical Committee 260 (ISO/TC 260); organized to develop policy templates for standardization solutions that improve management of the workforce in any nation; in any sector or industry.   These human resource management standards offer broad, evidence-based guidance to individuals with people management responsibilities, whether formally or informally assigned, in organizations for the benefit of both internal and external stakeholders.

Gleaned from inputs from human resource experts globally, these products are designed to provide guidance on key HR functions in support of its workforce and its management, and sustainable organizational performance.   TC/260  is focused on the following tasks:

• Ensuring wide market relevance of its HRM standards.
• Facilitating international business.
• Providing guidance on professional standards of practice.
• Facilitating measurement, comparability and consistency of HR practice with the aim of transparent benchmarking.
• Improving internal processes.
• Enabling organizations to better achieve optimal organizational outcomes with improved management of human capital

The original University of Michigan user-interest advocacy enterprise was participating member in this project* but that engagement was interrupted suddenly in October 2016 (See ABOUT).  We have since picked up where we left off with the same people collaborating with Standards Michigan.  ANSI remains the global Secretariat.

We maintain this project on the standing agenda of both our Global and our Human Resource colloquia.  See our CALENDAR for the next online meeting; open to everyone.

*We left off just as the ISO/TS 30411:2018Human resource management-Quality of hire metric (QoH) standard was rolling out.   The QoH was, and still is a performance metric for talent acquisition teams, critical for determining the effectiveness of the recruitment process and has a consequential impact on an organization’s performance.  The QoH structure is intended to be scalable to the needs of any organization regardless of size, industry or sector and is relevant to people with an interest in workforce planning, organizational design and development, talent management succession planning, recruitment, and human capital reporting.  Read more about ISO/TS 30411:2018 on ISO’s news site, and access it on the ANSI Web Store.
