team to search for, organize and file all
artifacts into the correct Domain boxes
for the Accrediting Team to use as
reference during their accreditation visit
to the school. The Domain Boxes
contained all supporting data that
accompanied the SCCS Accreditation
Self-Study Document. The Domains
were as follows:
Domain I Mission, Philosophy
and Vision.
Domain II Community.
Domain III Governance,
Administration and Management.
Domain IV Personnel.
Domain V Curriculum,
Instruction and Assessment.
Domain VI Student Services,
Resources and Activities.
Domain VII Plant and
Facilities.
While searching for and collecting the
artifacts, I helped to keep everything
labeled correctly, filed and organized
into the correct Domain artifact boxes.
In addition to the necessary artifacts for
the Domain boxes, I also organized
important school files and documents for
a separate review by the Accreditation
Chair.
