Accreditation Process

 School Accreditation Examiners and Their Importance

As indoor air pollutants increasingly become stressors to our schools, we must respond and emerge as a high-level resilient ecological system.  In a functioning system of resilience regarding building issues, the focus framed on interventions central to address root causes of poor health learning environments (Sheffield, Uijttewaal, Stewart, & Galvez, 2017). For example, when accreditors and their working bodies narrowly collect evidence that pertains to sustaining the well-being of the ecological state of an education system, the attributes apply to model an environmental network.  Unknowingly, they incorporate and disseminate resources needed to improve the ecosystems (Beas-Luna et al., 2014) of schools.

Approaching these specific concerns for sustainability is based on the assumption that accreditors would need to have protocols describing the existing quality of the learning environment, establish a connection between the students and environment, and initiate actions to increase student learning and possibly reduce absenteeism.
