OL 620 Total Rewards Sample Toolkit
Overview
Each week you will be assigned a different portion of the Toolkit to develop. At the end of the course, you will have sample policies from a variety of sources that cover a range of compensation and benefits practices. You will also share perspectives on the quality and value of these samples with your classmates through discussion board conversations. You are free to add these to a comprehensive toolkit for your own use.
Outcomes
To successfully complete this project, you will be expected to apply what you have learned in this course and should include several of the following course objectives:
· Survey wage and benefit administration practices
· Develop a “real world” understanding of wages and benefits administration
· Gain a greater appreciation of the ever-evolving nature of benefits and compensation
Main Elements and Format
Assume you are a consultant who has been called in to present a client with a sample of best practices as they relate to the types of compensation and benefits services that you can assist the client with.
1. Obtain relevant sample(s) of compensation and benefits policies/practices that you would consider illustrative of “best practices” for the assigned topic from the eight categories of the sample toolkit using the list provided (below). You must provide at least one example, but no more than two.
2. Complete the assigned blog post for each category in which you will provide a title, brief description, and a brief commentary on why you would consider these samples illustrative of a “best practice.”
3. Each week after you complete steps 1 and 2, you will post your sample(s) to the Total Rewards Sample Toolkit. This will create a substantial collection of samples that you can make use of.
Grading
Your sample kit will be graded on two dimensions:
· Quality of the sample you obtained
· Degree to which it is illustrative of the category
· Degree to which it is illustrative of a “best practice”
· Analysis of the sample(s)
· Explanation of the elements that make this a “best practice”

Part 1: Ethical
Choose two of the Nine Tenets of the Code of Ethics for Nurses:
I choose:
1. The Environment and Ethical Obligation
Virtues focus on what is good and bad in regard to whom we are to be as moral persons; obligations focus on what is right and wrong or what we are to do as moral agents. Obligations are often specified in terms of principles such as beneficence or doing good; nonmaleficence or doing no harm; justice or treating people fairly; reparations, or making amends for harm; fidelity, and respect for persons. Nurses, in all roles, must create a culture of excellence and maintain practice environments that support nurses and others in the fulfillment of their ethical obligations.
Environmental factors contribute to working conditions and include but are not limited to: clear policies and procedures that set out professional ethical expectations for nurses; uniform knowledge of the Code and associated ethical position statements. Peer pressure can also shape moral expectations within a work group. Many factors contribute to a practice environment that can either present barriers or foster ethical practice and professional fulfillment. These include compensation systems, disciplinary procedures, ethics committees and consulting services, grievance mechanisms that prevent reprisal, health and safety initiatives, organizational processes and structures, performance standards, policies addressing discrimination and incivility position descriptions, and more. Environments constructed for the equita.
ThesisProject Guidelines for Graduate Students Acknowle.docxchristalgrieg
Thesis/Project Guidelines
for Graduate Students
Acknowledgement: This guide is an abbreviated and heavily edited version of the MS Thesis Guidelines at the New Castle University in England.
1 Overview
These guidelines are intended to help you in the thesis/project process. Given that a thesis/project is an individual piece of work there is no intention unduly to restrict you in your approach. This document presents guidelines to support your work, therefore, and is not a set of absolute rules or procedures to which you must adhere. You will talk in more detail about your own project with your thesis/project supervisor.
In general, thesis/projects vary in style and approach according to your program of study. The following represent some core principles that differentiate a thesis from a practical project:
· Thesis: You undertake a thorough review of literature and of current knowledge and test the theoretical base for your work in some way in some practical situation. You typically present some hypothesis and test them for validity through some hands-on experiments, surveys or other instruments. The objective is to help the research community.
· Practical Project: You undertake a thorough investigation of a topic (e.g., use of mobile devices in healthcare) and develop deep understanding of the practical aspects and real life applications/implications of the field. You may develop prototypes or insightful reports that are of value to practitioners. The objective is to help the practitioner community.
The primary goal of the thesis/project is to allow you to enrich your knowledge and integrate your academic study with the analysis of related practical or theoretical work. The results produced should be publishable in a conference paper after minor additional work. This is not a requirement, just a desirable goal.
2 Assessment Criteria
2.1. The scope of assessment
Ideally, your thesis/project should reflect:
· A clear statement of the problem you have chosen to investigate
· A thorough reading of the relevant literature (practical or theoretical)
· Appropriate selection of a study approach
· An ability to synthesise various perspectives
· A good grasp of the theoretical and/or practical issues
· An ability to evaluate evidence, drawing appropriate conclusions and acknowledging ambiguity;
· Clarity of presentation
· A fluent style
2.2 How your work is Assessed
The thesis/project will be assessed by your advisor and other relevant experts as determined.
2.3 Presentation and format
Length: The Thesis/project should be between 10,000 to 12,000 words (it should not exceed 12,000 words), not including references and appendices.
You must submit an electronic copy of your work in PDF format.
There are no firm specific rules for content and presentation. However, thesis/projects will normally comprise:
· A Title Page (this is essential): including the title of the thesis/project, your name and degree course, ...
Due Jan 24 15In Phase 2, your team will work together to dev.docxshandicollingwood
Due Jan 24 15
In Phase 2, your team will work together to develop a detailed description and implementation plan for the innovation you selected to pursue in Module 3. Each team member must research and describe a product development or management process, methodology, or model that could be utilized to implement the innovation. The group should select and use one of these models for developing its own implementation plan.
For this assignment, write a paper of 2,000-3,000 words that addresses the following:
Finalize the name and include a one- or two-sentence description of the innovation.
Describe the value the new product or service will provide to customers and describe the need it will meet.
Utilizing the model selected by the team, create the detailed implementation plan for the innovation. Make sure the plan accounts for contingencies/risks in the implementation process and includes realistic timeframe and budgeting considerations.
Use graphics such as organizational charts, process maps, and/or budget tables as appropriate to increase the readability and professional appeal of the plan.
Include in-text citations from at least six secondary sources. Each person on the team must contribute an article from the research that was completed on product development or management processes, methodologies, and/or models.
Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

Assessment 2 Context
The Tripartite Model
For nursing faculty in colleges and universities, promotion and tenure will be partially
determined by meeting expectations in all three areas: teaching, service, and scholarship. In
many practice settings, including large health care systems, there is also often the expectation
for educators and administration nurses to participate in service and scholarship.
Scholarship is sometimes thought of as contributing to the professional literature with articles,
books, or Internet materials. This may be one aspect, but the field of nursing also considers
scholarship from a broader perspective. Service ref ...
Create a detailed, integrated project charter to address a healt.docxvictorring
Create a detailed, integrated project charter to address a healthcare gap, need, or improvement at your practicum site.
Introduction
In NHS-FPX8040, you prepared a preliminary project charter. At that time, you may not have secured your practicum site or preceptor yet. Now that these are in place, in this course you will delve more deeply into creating a project charter appropriate for your practicum site’s needs. You may be able to use some of the project charter work you did in the previous course. At the same time, you may find you need to completely retool your work as it may no longer be appropriate for your practicum site. This is the changing nature of doctoral projects. As we learn more information, doctoral projects change. Your ability to manage this ambiguity and change will be critical to your successfully completing your doctoral program.
In this assessment, you will create a detailed, integrated project charter to address a healthcare gap, need, or improvement at your practicum site. You will need to obtain input from your practicum site about how you can help to meet their needs. After submitting your project charter, you will receive your faculty member’s feedback on your charter’s alignment with department objectives, academic rigor, coherency, and readiness for Institutional Review Board (IRB) submission.

OL 620 Total Rewards Sample Toolkit
Overview
Each week you will be assigned a different portion of the Toolkit to develop. At the end of the course, you will have sample policies from a variety of sources that cover a range of compensation and benefits practices. You will also share perspectives on the quality and value of these samples with your classmates through discussion board conversations. You are free to add these to a comprehensive toolkit for your own use.
Outcomes
To successfully complete this project, you will be expected to apply what you have learned in this course and should include several of the following course objectives:
· Survey wage and benefit administration practices
· Develop a “real world” understanding of wages and benefits administration
· Gain a greater appreciation of the ever-evolving nature of benefits and compensation
Main Elements and Format
Assume you are a consultant who has been called in to present a client with a sample of best practices as they relate to the types of compensation and benefits services that you can assist the client with.
1. Obtain relevant sample(s) of compensation and benefits policies/practices that you would consider illustrative of “best practices” for the assigned topic from the eight categories of the sample toolkit using the list provided (below). You must provide at least one example, but no more than two.
2. Complete the assigned blog post for each category in which you will provide a title, brief description, and a brief commentary on why you would consider these samples illustrative of a “best practice.”
3. Each week after you complete steps 1 and 2, you will post your sample(s) to the Total Rewards Sample Toolkit. This will create a substantial collection of samples that you can make use of.
Grading
Your sample kit will be graded on two dimensions:
· Quality of the sample you obtained
· Degree to which it is illustrative of the category
· Degree to which it is illustrative of a “best practice”
· Analysis of the sample(s)
· Explanation of the elements that make this a “best practice”

I choose:
1. The Environment and Ethical Obligation
Virtues focus on what is good and bad in regard to whom we are to be as moral persons; obligations focus on what is right and wrong or what we are to do as moral agents. Obligations are often specified in terms of principles such as beneficence or doing good; nonmaleficence or doing no harm; justice or treating people fairly; reparations, or making amends for harm; fidelity, and respect for persons. Nurses, in all roles, must create a culture of excellence and maintain practice environments that support nurses and others in the fulfillment of their ethical obligations.
Environmental factors contribute to working conditions and include but are not limited to: clear policies and procedures that set out professional ethical expectations for nurses; uniform knowledge of the Code and associated ethical position statements. Peer pressure can also shape moral expectations within a work group. Many factors contribute to a practice environment that can either present barriers or foster ethical practice and professional fulfillment. These include compensation systems, disciplinary procedures, ethics committees and consulting services, grievance mechanisms that prevent reprisal, health and safety initiatives, organizational processes and structures, performance standards, policies addressing discrimination and incivility position descriptions, and more.

ThesisProject Guidelines for Graduate Students Acknowle.docxchristalgrieg
Thesis/Project Guidelines
for Graduate Students
Acknowledgement: This guide is an abbreviated and heavily edited version of the MS Thesis Guidelines at the New Castle University in England.
1 Overview
These guidelines are intended to help you in the thesis/project process. Given that a thesis/project is an individual piece of work there is no intention unduly to restrict you in your approach. This document presents guidelines to support your work, therefore, and is not a set of absolute rules or procedures to which you must adhere. You will talk in more detail about your own project with your thesis/project supervisor.
In general, thesis/projects vary in style and approach according to your program of study. The following represent some core principles that differentiate a thesis from a practical project:
· Thesis: You undertake a thorough review of literature and of current knowledge and test the theoretical base for your work in some way in some practical situation. You typically present some hypothesis and test them for validity through some hands-on experiments, surveys or other instruments. The objective is to help the research community.
· Practical Project: You undertake a thorough investigation of a topic (e.g., use of mobile devices in healthcare) and develop deep understanding of the practical aspects and real life applications/implications of the field. You may develop prototypes or insightful reports that are of value to practitioners. The objective is to help the practitioner community.
The primary goal of the thesis/project is to allow you to enrich your knowledge and integrate your academic study with the analysis of related practical or theoretical work. The results produced should be publishable in a conference paper after minor additional work. This is not a requirement, just a desirable goal.
2 Assessment Criteria
2.1. The scope of assessment
Ideally, your thesis/project should reflect:
· A clear statement of the problem you have chosen to investigate
· A thorough reading of the relevant literature (practical or theoretical)
· Appropriate selection of a study approach
· An ability to synthesise various perspectives
· A good grasp of the theoretical and/or practical issues
· An ability to evaluate evidence, drawing appropriate conclusions and acknowledging ambiguity;
· Clarity of presentation
· A fluent style
2.2 How your work is Assessed
The thesis/project will be assessed by your advisor and other relevant experts as determined.
2.3 Presentation and format
Length: The Thesis/project should be between 10,000 to 12,000 words (it should not exceed 12,000 words), not including references and appendices.
You must submit an electronic copy of your work in PDF format.
There are no firm specific rules for content and presentation. However, thesis/projects will normally comprise:
· A Title Page (this is essential): including the title of the thesis/project, your name and degree course, ...
Due Jan 24 15In Phase 2, your team will work together to dev.docxshandicollingwood
Due Jan 24 15
In Phase 2, your team will work together to develop a detailed description and implementation plan for the innovation you selected to pursue in Module 3. Each team member must research and describe a product development or management process, methodology, or model that could be utilized to implement the innovation. The group should select and use one of these models for developing its own implementation plan.
For this assignment, write a paper of 2,000-3,000 words that addresses the following:
Finalize the name and include a one- or two-sentence description of the innovation.
Describe the value the new product or service will provide to customers and describe the need it will meet.
Utilizing the model selected by the team, create the detailed implementation plan for the innovation. Make sure the plan accounts for contingencies/risks in the implementation process and includes realistic timeframe and budgeting considerations.
Use graphics such as organizational charts, process maps, and/or budget tables as appropriate to increase the readability and professional appeal of the plan.
Include in-text citations from at least six secondary sources. Each person on the team must contribute an article from the research that was completed on product development or management processes, methodologies, and/or models.
Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

Assessment 2 Context
The Tripartite Model
For nursing faculty in colleges and universities, promotion and tenure will be partially
determined by meeting expectations in all three areas: teaching, service, and scholarship. In
many practice settings, including large health care systems, there is also often the expectation
for educators and administration nurses to participate in service and scholarship.
Scholarship is sometimes thought of as contributing to the professional literature with articles,
books, or Internet materials. This may be one aspect, but the field of nursing also considers
scholarship from a broader perspective. Service ref ...
Create a detailed, integrated project charter to address a healt.docxvictorring
Create a detailed, integrated project charter to address a healthcare gap, need, or improvement at your practicum site.
Introduction
In NHS-FPX8040, you prepared a preliminary project charter. At that time, you may not have secured your practicum site or preceptor yet. Now that these are in place, in this course you will delve more deeply into creating a project charter appropriate for your practicum site’s needs. You may be able to use some of the project charter work you did in the previous course. At the same time, you may find you need to completely retool your work as it may no longer be appropriate for your practicum site. This is the changing nature of doctoral projects. As we learn more information, doctoral projects change. Your ability to manage this ambiguity and change will be critical to your successfully completing your doctoral program.
In this assessment, you will create a detailed, integrated project charter to address a healthcare gap, need, or improvement at your practicum site. You will need to obtain input from your practicum site about how you can help to meet their needs. After submitting your project charter, you will receive your faculty member’s feedback on your charter’s alignment with department objectives, academic rigor, coherency, and readiness for Institutional Review Board (IRB) submission.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Certification Report
Imposing Order, Reducing Clutter, and Verifying
Comprehensive Narratives
Very special thanks go to Accreditation Consultant Dr. Marty Smith Sharpe
and Dr. Geoffrey Klein of Christopher Newport University, whose workshop
materials were invaluable to me in the preparation of this presentation.
2. I. Deconstructing the Standard
When beginning the revision of submitted
narratives, start with the same considerations as
the author:
Identify
The scope of the standard (what is it about?)
Aspects of the standard (what facets or
subtopics of the scope should the narrative
address?)
3. I. Deconstructing the Standard
12.1 The institution provides appropriate academic
and student support programs, services, and
activities consistent with its mission (Student support
services) (Core requirement)
Exercise:
Label the scope and aspects.
4. I. Deconstructing the Standard

12. I. Deconstructing the Standard
12.1 The institution provides appropriate academic
and student support programs, services, and
activities consistent with its mission (Student support
services) (Core requirement)
Academic programs (scope)
services – activities – consistent with mission (aspects)
Student support programs (scope)
services – activities – consistent with mission (aspects)
13. I. Deconstructing the Standard
Academic programs (scope)
services – (aspect)
activities – (aspect)
consistent with mission (aspect)
Student support programs (scope)
services – (aspect)
activities – (aspect)
consistent with mission (aspect)
The narrative should address each aspect of each
component of the scope, using the scope and
aspect(s) as section headings and/or subheadings
14. I. Deconstructing the Standard
The narrative should begin with definitions where they can clarify.
Definitions
program
service
activity
appropriate
consistent
institutional mission
Academic programs - (scope)
services – (aspect)
activities – (aspect)
consistent with mission (aspect)
Student support programs (scope)
services – (aspect)
activities – (aspect)
consistent with mission (aspect)
15. I. Deconstructing the Standard
After deconstruction, you have an outline assuring coherence and unity.
I. Definitions
A. program
B. service
C. activity
D. appropriate
E. consistent
F. institutional mission
II. Academic programs - (scope)
A. services – (aspect)
B. activities – (aspect)
C. consistent with mission (aspect)
III. Student support programs (scope)
A. services – (aspect)
B. activities – (aspect)
C. consistent with mission (aspect)
16. I. Deconstructing the Standard
Rule of thumb:
SACSCOC doesn’t embellish or add extra
words. If seemingly similar words are used in a
standard, subtle differences are important to
consider in making your case for compliance.
“Programs,” “services,” and “activities” are NOT
synonyms. Be careful to assure that the narrative
clearly distinguishes between similar terms
(“comprehensive” and “broad-based” is another
example of the same kind of nuance being in
effect).
17. II. Common Compliance Certification
Shortcomings
The most common reasons for non-compliance:
Failure to respond to all components of each
standard in the narrative
Some are multi-part
Some parts only apply in certain situations
Providing inadequate evidence to support an
assertion in the narrative
18. II. Common Compliance Certification
Shortcomings
More common reasons for non-compliance:
Providing unnecessary narrative and/or
evidence that does not usefully address the
standard in the clearest way
Trying to follow too closely another
institution’s example (or—God forbid—its
narrative!)
Relying too much on a previous certification
19. II. Common Compliance Certification
Shortcomings
A certification report is a snapshot of the
institution taken at a particular moment in time.
Since each institution and each situational
variation is unique, a writer must craft each
narrative for each standard to reflect his or her
institution’s particular situation and context.
20. III. The Quest for the Perfect Narrative:
General Observations & Tips
Each narrative tells the institution’s story within
the particular focal area(s) addressed by the
standard.
Accreditation writing is unlike any other kind of
writing: avoid a public relations approach.
The voice should be declarative. Keep it simple
and straightforward—no cheerleading!
21. III. The Quest for the Perfect Narrative:
General Observations & Tips
Each narrative should stand on its own. Tell the
whole story as it relates to the standard, without
referring extensively to other narratives.
Each narrative should have unity (all material
should relate directly to the standard, with no
extraneous material) and coherence (each sentence
should follow logically from the previous one)
Use transitions to signal shifts in subject matter.
22. III. The Quest for the Perfect Narrative:
General Observations & Tips
Reviewers are assigned specific standards, and
will not be familiar with the entire compliance
certification document. Do not assume they
know anything other than what you are telling
them in the narrative you are composing.
Do not say, “as noted previously in the narrative
for X.y.z.”
23. III. The Quest for the Perfect Narrative:
General Observations & Tips
You do not want the reviewer to stop reading or
to have to search for a statement made in the
narrative for another standard, or in a policy,
handbook, or guideline. Excerpt and quote
where feasible.
24. III. The Quest for the Perfect Narrative:
General Observations & Tips
Use past and present tense. Use of future tense
suggests that the institution is not currently
compliant!
25. III. The Quest for the Perfect Narrative:
General Observations & Tips
Use section titles and subsection titles
corresponding to scope and aspect descriptors
to serve as navigational tools helping the reviewer
keep his or her place.
Support every claim possible with one or more
directly relevant pieces of evidence .
26. IV. The Quest for the Perfect Narrative:
Remember: Identify Scope
Most standards provide information about the scope
of the certification criterion addressed by the
standard
6.2.c: Program Coordination
For each of its educational programs, the institution
assigns appropriate responsibility for program coordination
6.3 Faculty appointment and evaluation
The institution publishes and implements policies
regarding the appointment, employment, and regular
evaluation of faculty members, regardless of contract or
tenure status.
27. IV. The Quest for the Perfect Narrative:
Remember: Identify Scope
Begin the narrative with a paragraph or section that
defines the scope of what you will discuss.
Ex.: 6.3 Faculty appointment and evaluation
The institution publishes and implements policies
regarding the appointment, employment, and regular
evaluation of faculty members, regardless of contract or
tenure status.
Provide definitions of each category of faculty and
cite any documents that provide those definitions
(like a faculty handbook, contract, administrative
policies and procedures manual, or employment
practices handbook).
28. IV. The Quest for the Perfect Narrative:
Remember: Identify Scope
Ex.: 6.3 Faculty appointment and evaluation
The institution publishes and implements policies
regarding the appointment, employment, and regular
evaluation of faculty members, regardless of contract or
tenure status.
Categories might be
full-time tenure track
full-time non-tenure track
adjunct
part-time adjunct
These categories may become headings in the narrative.
29. IV. The Quest for the Perfect Narrative:
Remember: Identify Scope
More examples:
8.2.a Student Outcomes: Educational Programs
Describe our educational programs and link to a list
8.2.c Student Outcomes: Academic and Student Services
Define which service units fall into this group’
List by academic programs and student services offices
5.4 Qualified Administrative / Academic Officers
Define each category separately
Distinguish “officers” from classified staff
30. V. The Quest for the Perfect Narrative:
Remember: Identify Aspects, Content
After identifying the scope, address each aspect
If possible, organize (or reorganize) the narrative into sections
corresponding to the standard’s aspect(s)
Make references to other narratives where applicable, but tell
the complete story within each narrative (it’s okay to be a bit
redundant, since reviewers only read the sections assigned to
them)
5.4 Qualified Administrative / Academic Officers
Define each category (administrative officers vs. academic
officers) separately
Even though 5.5 is not required for this report, consider
definitions applicable to 5.5 in defining scope
31. V. The Quest for the Perfect Narrative:
Remember: Identify Aspects, Content
After identifying the scope, address each aspect
If possible, organize (or reorganize) the narrative into sections
corresponding to the standard’s aspect(s)
Make references to other narratives where applicable, but tell
the complete story within each narrative (it’s okay to be a bit
redundant, since reviewers only read the sections assigned to
them)
Ex.: 9.1 Program Content
Educational programs (a) embody a coherent course of study, (b)
are compatible with the mission statement and goals of the
institution, and (c) are based on fields of study appropriate to
higher education. Identify the scope and aspects.
32. V. The Quest for the Perfect Narrative:
Remember: Identify Aspects, Content
Ex.: 9.1 Program Content
Educational programs (a) embody a coherent course of study, (b)
are compatible with the mission statement and goals of the
institution, and (c) are based on fields of study appropriate to
higher education.
Scope: Educational programs
Aspects:
Programs are guided by the mission
Programs provide a coherent course of study
Program content is appropriate to higher education
This one was pretty easy. But there’s a little more.
33. V. The Quest for the Perfect Narrative:
Remember: Identify Aspects, Content
Ex.: 9.1 Program Content
Educational programs (a) embody a coherent course of study, (b)
are compatible with the mission statement and goals of the
institution, and (c) are based on fields of study appropriate to
higher education.
Along with identifying scope and aspects, we want the narrative
to define:
a coherent course of study
a program
what we mean by
appropriate
compatible
34. VI. The Quest for the Perfect Narrative:
Be Consistent, and Be Honest!
Keep the story straight within and across narratives, and be
consistent in the use of definitions and in the evidence and
documentation provided in support of cross-referenced
narratives. (The Resource Manual gives cross references.)
Reviewer assignments are made by the review committee
chair, and each review (like each committee) is uniquely
constituted. Therefore, even though we cannot count on the
reviewer remembering or being aware of the arguments and
claims developed in other narratives, we need to be aware
that a reviewer might have read and could remember
arguments, claims, and definitions we have made elsewhere.
Inconsistency can affect the reviewer’s opinion regarding
integrity.
35. VI. The Quest for the Perfect Narrative:
Be Consistent, and Be Honest!
If we are not fully compliant on a given standard, the
narrative must indicate that without dissembling.
The approach should be declarative and forthright—not
defensive, evasive, apologetic, or sheepish.
Each narrative reflects on the institution’s integrity, which is
embodied in Standard 1.1. If an institution is not compliant
with Standard 1.1, it will face sanction, adverse action, and
even possible denial of reaffirmation.
Appearing unwilling to present all the facts or to suppress
counterevidence calls integrity into question.
Declare non-compliance or partial compliance when
that’s what the evidence shows.
36. VI. The Quest for the Perfect Narrative:
Be Consistent, and Be Honest!
If we are not fully compliant on a given standard,
lay out the facts as they are;
outline a remedy* (including an achievable timeline);
declare non-compliance or partial compliance.
If you see a problem, so will a trained, experienced
reviewer (the only kind assigned to review interim
reports).
*For cases of non-compliance or partial compliance, we must lay
out a specific, clearly articulated plan to bring the institution into
compliance. This is the only situation in which to use future tense.
37. VII. The Quest for the Perfect Narrative:
Document Each Claim
The time is now to start gathering documentation.
Minutes to key meetings—board of regents, faculty meetings,
curriculum committee minutes—are essential to demonstrating
processes and adherence to policies and procedures.
If the standard uses words “institution has policy/procedure” or
“process,” this means that we must have a published written
policy.
We must also provide evidence that the policy has been
implemented.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INCORPORATE LINKS—
just indicate where within the narrative they should go, and to
what documents or other resources they will point.
38. VIII. Final Considerations
We must provide evidence that we follow our own policies.
We will need to track related standards to assure
consistency ( remember that the Resource Manual lists
related standards for each principle we need to address)
ALWAYS say “SACSCOC” or “The Commission,” not SACS.
39. VIII. Final Considerations
We are out of spare time, so as soon as you receive your revision
team assignment(s), select a team leader and set up a calendar
for your team’s meetings and copy it to me, please.
Report any gaps in policies or in publishing to me as soon as
you become aware of them.
Assigned revisions need to be near completion by the time our
new provost comes on board in 6 weeks. April 15 is a hard
deadline.
If you see that you are not going to complete an assignment, tell
me before the due date so I can help.
40. VIII. Final Considerations
I will post mastery exercises for this training to the ART
organization page. They will be set up as assignments, and
will offer feedback on completion. I’ll notify you by email
as they become ready for posting.
I will also post team rosters and assignments to the ART
page, but will notify the ART membership by email as well.
