Accreditation association

This Assignment consists of two parts:

Create these parts in a Microsoft Word document and upload the document to the Unit 3 Social Media area. Then, upload a copy into the Dropbox under Unit 3 Social Media. You should also give your peers feedback on the Unit 3 Social Media area.

Part 1: Program Outcomes

This section consists of five to seven well-articulated program outcomes that you have written. Make sure your outcomes match the mission of the program, department and institution. Arizona State University has an excellent guide to writing program outcomes which you will find helpful in writing this section. Please visit 

Part 2: List of Courses

This topic is a list/chart of courses/component options and credit hours for the program you are proposing. Drawing from the Unit 1 Reading, credit hour chart and your research, create a table that lists all the credit hours with the course names and appropriate category. For example, if you are creating an undergraduate program in biology, you would have 120 semester hours total, and this would consist of general education requirements such as English and Math, major requirements such as Biology 101, major electives (different kinds of biology at the upper levels), and general electives. Make sure you put each course in the proper category. You can put this in table or chart form.

Important information for writing discussion questions and participation

Welcome to class

Hello class and welcome to the class and I will be your instructor for this course. This is a -week course and requires a lot of time commitment, organization, and a high level of dedication. Please use the class syllabus to guide you through all the assignments required for the course. I have also attached the classroom policies to this announcement to know your expectations for this course. Please review this document carefully and ask me any questions if you do. You could email me at any time or send me a message via the “message” icon in halo if you need to contact me. I check my email regularly, so you should get a response within 24 hours. If you have not heard from me within 24 hours and need to contact me urgently, please send a follow up text to

I strongly encourage that you do not wait until the very last minute to complete your assignments. Your assignments in weeks 4 and 5 require early planning as you would need to present a teaching plan and interview a community health provider. I advise you look at the requirements for these assignments at the beginning of the course and plan accordingly. I have posted the YouTube link that explains all the class assignments in detail. It is required that you watch this 32-minute video as the assignments from week 3 through 5 require that you follow the instructions to the letter to succeed. Failure to complete these assignments according to instructions might lead to a zero. After watching the video, please schedule a one-on-one with me to discuss your topic for your project by the second week of class. Use this link to schedule a 15-minute session. Please, call me at the time of your appointment on my number. Please note that I will NOT call you.

Please, be advised I do NOT accept any assignments by email. If you are having technical issues with uploading an assignment, contact the technical department and inform me of the issue. If you have any issues that would prevent you from getting your assignments to me by the deadline, please inform me to request a possible extension. Note that working fulltime or overtime is no excuse for late assignments. There is a 5%-point deduction for every day your assignment is late. This only applies to approved extensions. Late assignments will not be accepted.

If you think you would be needing accommodations due to any reasons, please contact the appropriate department to request accommodations.

Plagiarism is highly prohibited. Please ensure you are citing your sources correctly using APA 7th edition. All assignments including discussion posts should be formatted in APA with the appropriate spacing, font, margin, and indents. Any papers not well formatted would be returned back to you, hence, I advise you review APA formatting style. I have attached a sample paper in APA format and will also post sample discussion responses in subsequent announcements.

Your initial discussion post should be a minimum of 200 words and response posts should be a minimum of 150 words. Be advised that I grade based on quality and not necessarily the number of words you post. A minimum of TWO references should be used for your initial post. For your response post, you do not need references as personal experiences would count as response posts. If you however cite anything from the literature for your response post, it is required that you cite your reference. You should include a minimum of THREE references for papers in this course. Please note that references should be no more than 5 years old except recommended as a resource for the class. Furthermore, for each discussion board question, you need ONE initial substantive response and TWO substantive responses to either your classmates or your instructor for a total of THREE responses. There are TWO discussion questions each week, hence, you need a total minimum of SIX discussion posts for each week. I usually post a discussion question each week. You could also respond to these as it would count towards your required SIX discussion posts for the week.

I understand this is a lot of information to cover in 5 weeks, however, the Bible says in Philippians 4:13 that we can do all things through Christ that strengthens us. Even in times like this, we are encouraged by God’s word that we have that ability in us to succeed with His strength. I pray that each and every one of you receives strength for this course and life generally as we navigate through this pandemic that is shaking our world today. Relax and enjoy the course!

Discussion 2

As a leader in higher education, you need to be knowledgeable about accrediting bodies, professional and occupational associations, and standards and the impact they have on curriculum. , and then do research on accreditation and accrediting bodies before answering this Discussion question.

Professional schools within a college or university have their own standards and required competencies that are mandated by the profession. For example, The National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission, Inc. (NLNAC): has established clear standards for nursing curriculum at all levels, from practical, diploma, and baccalaureate through graduate nursing degrees.

Based on the Reading for this week, as well as your outside readings, please respond to the following questions:

• What accrediting associations (regional and possibly specialized) will impact the new program of study you are developing for your course project?
• If you are developing an online or hybrid program, does the accreditation association have specific guidelines or requirements for online programs? How will these impact your plans?
• What does it mean to teach to standards? Do all disciplines have to teach to standards? What professional associations will influence your curriculum as you develop your program of study?
• What will you do, as department chair, to assure that your faculty are teaching to the standards set by the program and accrediting bodies?
