ResourcesInternational Council Advancing Independent School Accreditation (ICAISA)Connect with Bonnie on LinkedInATLIS360EE Ford Foundation This episode is brought to you by Toddle.ATLIS thanks our vendor partners for their support!Have you ever considered the behind-the-scenes intricacies of school accreditation, especially in the era of ever-evolving technology? In a recent episode of Talking Technology with ATLIS, host Christina Lewellen, Executive Director of ATLIS, invites Bonnie Ricci, Executive Director of ICAISA, to discuss this niche yet vital topic. Accompanied by co-hosts Bill Stites and Hiram Cuevas, they embark on a journey into the evolving landscape of school accreditation and the pivotal role of technology, making this complex topic accessible and engaging. The conversation started with each person sharing their first job experiences, illustrating diverse beginnings leading to their current influential roles in education and technology. Ricci, with her rich background in education, shared her journey from a dishwasher to her prestigious role at ICAISA. This progression epitomizes the unexpected paths to leadership roles in education and technology. Ricci shares, “I was really destined in many ways to become a teacher. I spent a little over a decade teaching middle school math at three different independent schools. I loved connecting deeply with the people in schools. And so from there, I moved from the classroom to Association work.” Her story is a testament to the evolving nature of careers in these fields, where initial aspirations often transform into roles far more impactful than imagined.The podcast's core discussion centered around accreditation in independent schools. Ricci emphasized how technology is increasingly integral to the accreditation process. She illustrated this with examples of schools leveraging technology for self-study preparations and the use of AI to streamline accreditation documentation. This innovative approach highlights a shift from traditional methods to more technologically driven processes, ensuring efficiency and accuracy.A significant part of the conversation was dedicated to the challenges schools face during accreditation. Ricci shared insights from a study conducted by ICAISA, revealing governance as a key area of focus. The study, funded by the E.

And then ultimately to determine what are the resources that ICAISA or member accrediting associations can provide to schools." This research underscores the importance of continual improvement in school governance practices.In a compelling segment of the podcast, Ricci probed into the critical role of technology in the accreditation process, underscoring its importance not only in facilitating but also in securing the procedure. She emphasized the necessity of a technological and data security perspective in managing the accreditation process. "If you don't have that technological lens or the data security lens you're not necessarily going to remember or be aware of how to change those permissions or how to delete certain files," Ricci...
