Preparing for NEASC Accreditation

Besides the materials presented on our website, each public school, district, center or program that is preparing for NEASC Accreditation using the "Vision for Learning" process is assigned a professional staff liaison who can assist school officials at any point during the accreditation process. In addition, the Commission on Public Schools partners with other organizations in order to provide ongoing professional development for its member schools and sponsors a number of programs and events for schools at various points during the accreditation cycle.

Curriculum Development

In March of 2025 the NEASC Commission on Public Schools approved updates to the Standards for Accreditation for Public Schools in order to establish greater clarity on the curriculum expectations for member schools. Specifically the Principle of Effective Practice 2.2 and Foundational Element 2.2a within Standard 2/Student Learning were updated. These revisions provide consistent direction to schools and visiting teams, so all parties can analyze schools’ alignment with the Student Learning Standard, draw appropriate conclusions, and identify next steps.

We are pleased to offer resources to help member schools develop written curriculum, meet Standard 2/Student Learning Foundational Element 2.2a, and optimize alignment with the Principle of Effective Practice 2.2.
