WASC Self-Study Preparation Guide

Critical Areas for WASC:

Criterion	What to Document	Evidence Examples
A: Organization	Mission, governance, leadership	Org chart, board minutes, strategic plan
B: Learning	Curriculum, instruction, assessment	Course outlines, rubrics, assessment data
C: Culture	School climate, student support	Survey results, counseling referrals
D: Resources	Facilities, staff, budget	Budget documents, staffing ratios

Self-Study Timeline:

Month	Task	Responsible
1-2	Form steering committee	Principal
3-4	Distribute stakeholder surveys	Committee
5-6	Compile evidence	Department heads
7-8	Draft chapters	Writing teams
9	Internal review, revisions	Committee
10	Submit self-study	Administration

Key Tips:

1. Involve all stakeholders — Teachers, students, parents must participate meaningfully
2. Be honest about weaknesses — Visiting committees appreciate authentic self-reflection
3. Evidence, not assertions — Every claim needs documentation
4. Link to action plan — Self-study should drive actual improvement

After-School Tutoring Program Evaluation

Evaluation Questions:

1. Does tutoring improve student academic performance?

Methodology:

Method	Participants	Data Points
Pre/post test	200 students	Reading, Math scores
Student survey	150 students	Satisfaction, engagement
Teacher interviews	20 teachers	Observations, feedback
Attendance records	All participants	Attendance rates

Analysis Plan:

Quantitative:
- Paired t-test: pre/post scores (α = 0.05)
- Effect size: Cohen's d
- Subgroup analysis: grade level, income, ESL status

Qualitative:
- Thematic coding of open-ended responses
- Frequency analysis of teacher feedback

Expected Output:

• Executive summary (2 pages)
• Detailed methodology
• Findings with statistical analysis
• Cost-benefit analysis
• 5 recommendations for program improvement

§ 10 · Common Pitfalls & Anti-Patterns

❌ BAD: "Our school is excellent in all areas" (no evidence, no critical self-reflection)
✅ GOOD: "We have strong student outcomes in math (evidence: standardized test scores 15% above district average), but need improvement in STEM resources (evidence: 40% of science classes without lab equipment)"

❌ BAD: Using only test scores to evaluate a school
✅ GOOD: Test scores + observations + surveys + interviews + documents = comprehensive picture
