It is suggested that the institution initiate the self-study process approximately 12 months prior to completion of the Self-Study Report.  The primary focus of the self-study process should be to assess the effectiveness of the educational program in meeting (1) the program’s stated goals and objectives and (2) the Commission’s Accreditation Standards.  The United States Department of Education (USDE) requires the use of an institutional or programmatic self-study as a part of the accreditation process.\nThe Self-Study Report should be a concise, yet thorough, summary of the findings of the self-study process.  The Commission hopes that the self-study will be a catalyst for program improvement that continues long after the accreditation process has been completed.  In its opinion, this is a more likely outcome if there is thorough planning, as well as involvement of students and administrators in the self-study process.  Most programs will concentrate upon questions germane to the Commission’s Accreditation Standards.  Nevertheless, the benefits of self-study are directly related to the extent to which programs evaluate their efforts, not simply in light of minimal standards for accreditation, but also in reference to the program’s stated goals and objectives as well as standards for educational excellence.  Assessment of the effectiveness of the institution’s procedures should be reviewed as the means to achieve the intended outcomes.  That is to say that the procedures are not ends in themselves, but are means for reaching the chosen goals.  Conclusions of the self-study may include qualitative evaluation of any aspect of the program whether it is covered in the Self-Study Guide or not.  Programs must respond to all questions included in the Self-Study Guide.  The responses should be succinc","cbCaiqkpIb4UBUEA","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqkpIb4UBUEA","docx",257378,95,"English","# Introduction to the Self-Study Guide\n# Organizing the Self-Study\n# Instructions for Completing the Self-Study\n# Policies and Procedures Related to the Evaluation of Allied Dental Education Programs\n# Administrator Verification Page\n# Summary of Factual Information\n# Previous Site Visit Recommendations and Compliance with Commission Policies\n# Standard 1 – Institutional Effectiveness\n# Standard 2 – Educational Programs\n# Standard 3 – Administration, Faculty and Staff\n# Standard 4 – Educational Support Services\n# Standard 5 – Health and Safety Provisions\n# Standard 6 – Patient Care Services\n# Conclusions and Summary of the Self-Study Report\n# Examples of Selected Exhibits\n# Protocol for Conducting a Site Visit","[{\"question\":\"When should an institution initiate the self-study process?\",\"answer\":\"The guide suggests initiating the self-study process approximately 12 months prior to completion of the Self-Study Report.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the primary focus of the self-study?\",\"answer\":\"The primary focus is assessing the effectiveness of the educational program in meeting its stated goals and objectives and the Commission’s Accreditation Standards.\"},{\"question\":\"What must the Self-Study Report responses include?\",\"answer\":\"Programs must respond to all questions and provide or cite evidence demonstrating achievement of objectives in compliance with each Accreditation Standard.\"}]","Commission on Dental Accreditation - Self-Study Guide for the Evaluation of a Dental Assisting Education Program | DOCX",33]
