The NSSE model for school improvement, the same one used for the 2001 study, was followed again, and work soon began assigning MBA stakeholders to the task of self-study. A six committee structure governed the work of this self-study. Committee One (Profile) gathered most of the descriptive data found in Part I of the self-study. This committee also administered and evaluated stakeholder opinion inventories created and scored by NSSE. Analysis of the items in these inventories helped to identify perceptions that are addressed in the school improvement plan. Committee Two (Mission and Beliefs) studied the school’s mission statement and surveyed stakeholders concerning the mission of the school. The work of this committee, contained in Part II of the self-study, clarifies the role of Montgomery Bell Academy’s mission and the vision that we share for the school. Committee Three (Desired Results for Student Learning) used NSSE surveys to analyze the goals of the educational program. The work of this committee also produced observations about the school that helped to inform the vision behind the school improvement plan. Committee Four (Instructional and Organizational Effectiveness) worked to evaluate the operational aspects of the school and produced its own contributions to the vision behind the school improvement plan. Committee Five (Action Plan) began the process of translating the school’s vision into concrete goals for the school to pursue in its efforts to realize that vision. At each step in the process, the Steering Committee was deeply involved in directing the study. A sixth committee is charged with annual monitoring and implementation of the Action Items contained in the school improvement plan. Montgomery Bell Academy is fortunate to be in such a strong position regarding its accreditation thanks in large part to the fine work of the previous Academic Dean, Dr. Ed Gaffney, in establishing expectations and procedures consistent with the standards in place during the school’s 2 previous five-year reviews by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). This time, under the direction of a new Dean, the school seeks initial dual accreditation under the joint auspices of the Southern Association of Independent Schools (SAIS) and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). Mr. Dennis Brown, SAIS-SACS Review Committee Chair, made a preliminary visit to evaluate the school’s compliance with the SAIS-SACS dual accreditation standards and plan the details of the Review Committee’s visit. His assistance was instrumental in shaping the details of the visit, and we anticipate a productive exchange when he returns with the committee November 12-14, 2006.
