Accreditation

Your accreditation self-study, practice by practice

Accreditation takes your school through its accreditation self-study: install your accreditor’s framework, give each practice an owner and a due date, then rate it and write how your school meets it. When the visit comes, the visiting team reads it all through a link of its own.

What it does

Owners and due dates

Give each practice one or more owners and a due date. Owners are emailed when the date is near and again once it has passed, until the practice is rated met.

A narrative for every practice

Rate each practice met, partly met or not met, and write how your school meets it. Every earlier version of a narrative is kept, and staff discuss each practice in comments the visiting team never sees.

Ready for the visit

Print a self-study report of every practice with its rating, owners and narrative. Give the visiting team a read-only link that lasts 14 days and needs no sign-in, and re-issue or revoke it at any time.

How it works

  1. Set up your school

    Sign up, then add the colleagues working on your self-study on the People page, or send them a join link.

  2. Install your framework

    Choose your accreditor’s framework pack, then give each practice its owners and a due date.

  3. Write the self-study

    Rate each practice and write its narrative. When the visit comes, print the report and send the visiting team its link.

What it costs

Accreditation is free on its own, with no card, for up to 30 people. Each app you add after it is $25 (NZD) a month, and each person beyond those 30 people is $2 (NZD) a month.

Questions people ask

Who can see our self-study?

Your staff, who write and rate it. The visiting team sees ratings, owners and narratives through its own link, never your internal comments, and students and families never see Accreditation.

Do we need our timetable or our classes?

No. Owners, ratings, narratives and due dates need only your staff. Linking units, assessments and students’ portfolio work to a practice as evidence comes with the whole of MyTime.

Which frameworks can we use?

Install the pack for your accreditor’s framework, or more than one if your school holds more than one accreditation. Each pack names its source, and says so where its descriptors are written in our own words: check them against your accreditor’s current publication before you submit.

Can we add more later?

Yes. Add another app, such as your courses and units, which you can then link to a practice as evidence, or the whole of MyTime, and keep everything you already have.
