B1: COA Peer Reviewer Panel: A Guide to Accreditation Success, The Reviewers Perspective
Area of Focus: COA Accreditation
In this session, a seasoned panel of peer reviewers for COA Accreditation, a service of Social Current, will guide participants through:
- Self-study and onsite documentation (The BOX)
- Frequent areas of struggle
- The “perfect” site visit
- The post site visit process
Panelists will help participants gain a deeper understanding of these areas, allowing the (re)accreditation process to be a less stressful and more rewarding experience. This session is for those interested in learning more about the accreditation process from those who are in the field. Through many years of experience, panelists have learned simple tips to allow for a smooth accreditation for the organization’s reviewers as well as for the staff who are responsible for organizing the process. Participants will be guided through four key areas to make the process less stressful, easier to organize, and even a little fun. Join this session for an exciting look at these topics and a smooth future site visit.
