MSA-CESS 2021/2022 Annual Report

2021 2022

ANNUAL REPORT

THE CO-CHAIRS

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to present this annual report featuring inspiring stories and updates from the Middle States Association Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools (MSA-CESS) and our member schools throughout the world.

Although the report highlights our past fiscal year, we recognize that each success in our organization’s history was a stepping stone that led us to this point. This path of continuous growth and improvement is at the core of the work that Middle States, and so many of you, do.

We took an important step this year when we appointed Christian Talbot, a proven educational leader, as the new president of MSA-CESS.

Christian brings firsthand experience as a teacher and school leader, a strategic approach to management, and a passion for ongoing growth and improvement. We are excited to work with him and the entire Middle States staff to strengthen our organization and expand our vision.

We also released new Standards for Accreditation following a multi-year process to revise them based on input from the entire Middle States community, including staff and commissioners, volunteers, and educators like you.

While our previous Standards served schools well over many years, we made key modifications to streamline the accreditation process, making it more helpful to the teachers and administrators who are on the ground and in schools every day.

In addition, we expanded into new communities, including Oklahoma, Texas, and Canada. We are pleased to report that by the end of the year, there were 2,698 Middle States member schools in nearly all states and 115 countries around the world.

In the pages that follow, you will read about these and many other exciting milestones that are helping pave our way into a bright future.

Thank you for your contributions to Middle States, your students, and your entire learning community.

Sincerely, Clayton J. Petry

Chair, Middle States Association Commission on Elementary Schools

James Kraft, Ph.D.

Chair, Middle States Association Commission on Secondary Schools

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Friends,

Warren Buffet once said: “Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.”

I’m proud to say that for 135 years, the Middle States Association Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools (MSA-CESS) has been planting proverbial trees in support of continuous school improvement.

I’ve had the privilege of working at three Middle Statesaccredited schools; serving on visiting and internal coordination teams; and now helping to lead this historic organization as its new president. At each step, I have been inspired by the exceptional commitment and service to the Middle States mission demonstrated by our volunteers, staff, and Commissioners.

You may never sit in the shade of the trees you have planted, but your moral vision will enable a better education for every child in the Middle States network—as of this writing, over 1 million students.

This year you will have opportunities to help Middle States make an even bigger impact. Stay tuned for opportunities to connect with MSA-CESS peers, learn from thought leaders, and gain access to innovative programs in the months to come.

For now, I hope you will enjoy this report, which details a number of important milestones from the past year.

Because of your contributions, schools around the world recognize Middle States as the trusted guide for continuous school improvement. For that, I am deeply grateful.

Sincerely, Christian Talbot

President, Middle States Association Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools

Based in Philadelphia, the Middle States Association Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools (MSA-CESS) is the worldwide leader in accreditation and school improvement. Since 1887, Middle States has been helping school leaders establish and reach their goals, develop strategic plans, promote staff development, and advance student achievement.

With more than 2,700 accredited schools and school systems in nearly 50 states, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and in over 110 countries, MSA-CESS is proud of its continuing legacy and its ongoing innovations to meet the challenges of improving education in the 21st century.

EXPANDING ACCESS TO ACCREDITATION

A series of actions recognizing MSA-CESS as an approved accrediting agency has meant that more schools in the United States and internationally now have an opportunity to participate in the Middle States accreditation process.

In August 2021, Middle States received approval from the Department of Defense (DoD) to offer eligible accredited childcare providers and schools that have an early childhood education component the opportunity to participate in a fee assistance program that serves military and non-military families.

In addition, Middle States has been recognized by the Virginia Council for Private Education (VCPE), the Oklahoma Private School Accreditation Commission (OPSAC), and the Texas Private School Accreditation Commission (TEPSAC), as an approved accreditation agency in those states.

MSA-CESS was also approved by the Commission for Independent Education (CIE) in Florida to license schools by means of accreditation and was approved by the Conference of Independent Schools of Ontario (CIS Ontario), an independent school association, to accredit their nearly 50 member schools.

EDUCATION IN A COVID-WORLD

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, educators worldwide have had to adapt and change, sometimes in significant ways. From connecting with students in a virtual classroom to keeping kids safe at school while also considering their own health, most educators faced challenges unlike any they had ever experienced. Throughout the pandemic, Middle States staff and volunteers worked closely with member schools to help them secure or maintain accreditation while supporting safe practices.

Virtual Visits

Members often report that one of the most valuable aspects of Middle States accreditation is the peer-review process. Inviting a team of volunteer educators onto their campus offers teachers and school leaders a chance to connect and learn from other leaders in the field.

However, for much of last year, the pandemic made it unsafe to conduct in-person team visits.

Hundreds of Middle States volunteers modified plans and adapted to the everchanging public health crisis by taking the majority of their team visits online. Teams met with school leaders via web conference and conducted virtual tours throughout the fall of 2021.

Although virtual visits continued into the spring of 2022, some schools opted for a hybrid model, in which the team chair was invited on-site while members of the team were remote.

How Schools Responded

During their bi-annual meeting in the fall of 2021, Middle States Commissioners, comprising education leaders from around the world, discussed the pressing issues facing schools during the pandemic. Although Middle States Commissioners come from a variety of schools and learning centers, they experienced many of the same challenges.

1. Opening Schools Safely

When faculty, staff, and students do not feel safe in school, it affects their ability to teach and learn. Adopting strong health and safety measures has been key to success in a COVID-world.

Schools adapted by:

• Following local health department regulations;

• Preventing the spread with masks and social distancing, and by encouraging or requiring vaccines and/or testing;

• Conducting contact tracing when cases were discovered.

2. Supporting Social and Emotional Well-Being

Supporting the social and emotional well-being of students has been a challenge throughout the pandemic, especially after many classrooms moved to a virtual format, leaving students separated from each other and their teachers.

Schools adapted by:

• Targeting social-emotional health among students and teachers in addition to academic learning;

• Engaging students in non-academic ways, including through clubs or athletics;

• Developing student-led and faculty-led groups to discuss pressing issues and encourage socialization;

• Teaching mindfulness;

• Providing teachers and staff with training on positive discipline tactics, trauma-informed care, and social-emotional learning.

3. Mitigating Lost Learning

Concerns over students’ ability to learn remotely were widespread in the height of the pandemic. As faculty, staff, and students returned to classrooms, addressing learning loss was critical.

Schools adapted by:

• Assessing the level of learning loss among students and developing targeted plans for addressing those losses;

• Connecting with parents of students who were struggling to help them troubleshoot;

• Being flexible with students;

• Identifying staff interventionists to help students who had fallen behind.

The American International School Chennai’s Creative Approach to Health and Safety

Leaders at the American International School in Chennai, India, knew they needed to tackle health and safety head on before students could return to campus for in-person learning.

They installed HEPA filters and UV filtration systems throughout the school, and adopted stringent cleaning protocols.

Staff at the school wanted to be able to open doors and windows to promote natural ventilation, but the threat of mosquito-borne disease loomed. To prevent mosquitoes from infiltrating classrooms, screens were installed on windows and doors.

“Now our school constantly sounds like you’re on a porch sipping lemonade because you hear screen doors slamming shut all the time,” said former Head of School Andrew Hoover.

Further, the tropical climate of Chennai results in hot days yearround. With warm air rushing into classrooms, school leaders realized that enforcing traditional dress codes for teachers was making them uncomfortable. Teachers are given latitude to dress down, and some even wear shorts and flip flops on the hottest days.

PROGRAMS OF DISTINCTION SET A HIGH BAR

Each year, Middle States issues a small number of Program of Distinction awards to schools that exhibit extraordinary accomplishments in a specific subject area. This important external validation enables schools to take their accreditation to the next level.

Accredited schools may apply to be recognized for having outstanding programs in Global Literacies, World Languages, Visual Arts, Music, Early Childhood Education, Service Learning, School Counseling, STEM, and beginning last year, in Athletics.

During the Program of Distinction review process, accredited schools identify strengths and areas for growth that will ensure they maintain a high-quality program.

The following schools earned the Program of Distinction in FY22.

Athletics

American School of Valencia, Valencia, Spain

Mt. Lebanon High School, Pittsburgh, PA

Early Childhood Education

Elsie Whitlow Stokes Community Freedom Public Charter School, Washington, DC

Music

Mt. Lebanon High School, Pittsburgh, PA

“The early childhood education program at Stokes School is designed to provide students with the strong foundation they need to thrive in school and in life. We are grateful to Middle States for acknowledging our commitment to all of our students, including our youngest learners.” — Erika Bryant, Executive Director, Elsie Whitlow Stokes Community Freedom Public Charter School, Washington DC

MSA-CESS established the Program of Distinction in Athletics last year, which recognizes schools for their commitment to facilitating students’ well-being by either participation in athletics programs or by supporting the program as spectators and school esprit des corps.

American School of Valencia in Valencia, Spain, and Mt. Lebanon High School in Pittsburgh, PA, each earned the inaugural Program of Distinction in Athletics.

“We believe that a strong athletic program provides students opportunities to explore new abilities, collaborate with others, and achieve greater personal success. We are proud to be recognized in this important way.” — Michael L. Smith, Director, American School of Valencia

NEW STANDARDS MAKE ACCREDITATION EVEN MORE MEANINGFUL 12 to 5

In November 2021, MSA-CESS officially adopted new accreditation standards that help streamline the accreditation process and make it even more meaningful and relevant to today’s educational environment.

The new “Standards for Accreditation School Edition 2021” went into effect for all schools and school systems starting the self-study period in spring of 2022 and thereafter.

These new standards were thoughtfully researched and designed over the past two years by Middle States staff with involvement and input from commissioners, visiting team leaders, and volunteers.

The Middle States team also consulted with educators within member schools who have achieved accreditation and have a deep understanding of, and appreciation for, the Middle States process.

In addition, Middle States conducted a pilot of the new standards in more than 12 schools in the United States and abroad. The pilot enabled Middle States to further refine the standards to ensure they meet the unique needs of its diverse membership.

Among the changes, the number of standards has been reduced from 12 to 5 by removing redundancies and ensuring that each standard is relevant to the daily operations of schools and school systems. The revised standards are:

FOUNDATIONS GOVERNANCE & ORGANIZATION STUDENT WELL-BEING

RESOURCES TEACHING & LEARNING

Key Concepts

Each of the standards are organized around several key concepts, indicators of quality and required evidence. Among the most significant modifications to the standards relate to student safety and welfare and can be found in the Student Well-Being Standard.

Also, the standards now include special purpose indicators for specific areas not fully addressed in the five Standards for Accreditation and that may only apply to certain programs or types of schools, for instance online learning programs, early childhood education programs, faith-based schools, and boarding schools.

“For 135 years, the Middle States Association has been a worldwide leader in accreditation and school improvement. Throughout our history, we have continued to grow and change, just like the schools and school leaders we work with.”

— Glen Mort, Ed.D., Executive Vice President

VOLUNTEER AWARDS

Commitment to Service

In spring of 2022, Middle States honored three outstanding volunteers for their dedicated service.

Michelle Haag, Ph.D., a longtime educator and formerly a consultant with Ascend Educational Consultants, was a recipient of the F. Laird Evans Outstanding Volunteer Award. She has led teams of educators on visits to schools in the U.S. and around the world, including Catholic schools, a military academy, and an alternative education school. (In July 2022, Michelle became an Associate Vice President for MSA-CESS.)

F. Laird Evans is the former president of the Middle States Commission on Elementary Schools and an ardent supporter of school accreditation.

Kimberly Lytle, the former Director of Curriculum for the Diocese of Erie, PA, was the recipient of the Henry G. Cram Accreditation Leadership Award. Lytle retired from her position as the Director of Curriculum for the Diocese of Erie in July 2021, a position she held for 12 years. Lytle has volunteered to support other Catholic schools undergoing the Middle States accreditation process, including within the Diocese of Pittsburgh, PA, and the Diocese of Rochester, NY.

The Accreditation Leadership Award is named for Henry G. Cram, who retired from Middle States in 2019 after serving as president for nearly 14 years.

Nicole Zernick, M.A., the Career and Technical Education Coordinator at the Greater Altoona Career & Technology Center in Altoona, PA, was the recipient of this year’s Susan K. Nicklas Outstanding Volunteer Award. In addition to her current role as Career and Technical Education Coordinator, Zernick has served as a Coordinator of Continuing Education and Career Placement Programs with the Greater Altoona Career & Technology Center in the past. She has led teams of Middle States volunteers on visits to a number of career and technical schools in her home state of Pennsylvania, and in New Jersey, New York, and Virginia.

Susan K. Nicklas served as the executive director of the Middle States Commissions on Secondary Schools from 2002 to 2005 and was a member of the staff since 1993.
