One of the focus groups at my school focuses on the effectiveness of the present curriculum and what improvements can be made. The individuals in this focus group are comprised of faculty, staff, a student representative, and a parent representative. In the past, this focus group has surveyed students and teachers about the effectiveness of the curriculum. This year as my school goes through its mid-year visit, I hear more discussions about technology integration into the curriculum than I have during the last accreditation term.
One new research program that I am hoping for involves more faculties expressing interest in this “emerging area” of technology. More faculty need to provide input as it is changing the way we deliver lessons to our students and the way we communicate with parents and most especially, other faculty.

I think you should head that committee. Do you ever feel that the WASC material created is for the sake of WASC alone? At our school we do continue with some of the products of accreditation, but often times I feel it is for the sake of WASC. People say "it's accreditation time again" and so now these are issues we should be concerned about? I wish the efforts put into accreditation reports were as much as what is put into their implementation and upkeep.
