Within the self-study process, the Work Groups complete the essential analysis of how SMCM is meeting certain criteria within our accreditation standards and provide direction for future action and\/or growth in relation to those standards. Under the leadership of Work Group Co-Chairs (one of whom is a member of the Steering Committee), Work Groups gather and reflect on various types and pieces of evidence that chronicle SMCM\u2019s work under each Middle States Standard since our last accreditation visit.<\/p>\n
Below are the Work Groups, and the co-chairs and members of each group. The Steering Committee representative is identified with “SC”.<\/p>\n
