Benefits of Self-Study in the Accreditation Process: Request for Testimonials / Input
Deadline: August 30, 2024
In celebration of CEA’s 25th Anniversary in 2024, a comprehensive analysis of the self-reported benefits of self-study taken from responses included in over 550 self-study reports submitted between 2012 and 2023 has been completed. Findings indicate that sites have reported four primary areas of benefit: organizational learning, capacity-building, a culture of improvement, and stakeholder relations. Within these broad areas, 38 specific subconcepts have been identified; see next two pages for the complete list. To enhance our research through methodological triangulation, CEA is now seeking testimonials related to each of these subconcepts.
Submission Guidelines:
Tell us how your program or language institution has experienced the benefits of self-study related to one of the sub-concepts listed on the next two pages. Each testimonial must be based on a single sub-concept and can have up to two authors. There is no limit on the number of testimonials an author or site may submit.
If the testimonial is based on the work of a currently-CEA-accredited site, the site’s primary contact, if not an author, must provide permission for submission of the testimonial.
Word limit: 100-200 words is suggested with a maximum of 300 words per entry.
Informed Consent:
Selected testimonials will be published on the CEA website later this year and may be referenced in future publications. Testimonials will be credited in aggregate to the author(s) and the site that submitted them. Submissions may be edited for clarity. By submitting, you agree that your testimonial may be used as part of this research study and included in any publications, materials, and resources produced by CEA.
Submissions will be accepted from July 1, 2024, through August 30, 2024. The Research Committee will review submissions, and authors of selected testimonials will be notified by CEA staff.
