你知道吗? 之 Cognia认证

Annual work days allow our teachers to strive for excellence, giving them more tools for influencing our students.

In 2021, all of the LifePlus schools became accredited through Cognia, providing a systematic and cohesive evaluation and assessment program for all of our international schools. Last week, while students took two days off to rest and catch up on homework, LifePlus staff around China spent their time in an annual conference. These on-campus work days included system-wide meetings to ensure alignment between schools, opportunities to develop best practices and for teachers to learn from their peers.

From 2005 to 2021, International School of Qingdao was accredited through WASC. Transferring our accreditation to Cognia means that our teachers have the tools they need to meet improvement goals and sustain student success in the classroom. Cognia serves 40,000 public and private institutions from early learning through high school in 90 countries, bringing a global perspective to advancing teaching and learning

Cognia is a globally recognized accreditation body encompassing the historical regional accreditation networks North Central Association Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement (NCA CASI), Northwest Accreditation Commission (NWAC), and Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Council on Accreditation and School Improvement (SACS CASI). Cognia is recognized by all colleges and universities as a regional accreditation body.

Our accreditation plays a big part in our commitment to inspiring learners to make a life-changing difference for the common good. By seeking continual improvement in teaching methods and classroom practices through the tools that Cognia offers, we not only expect excellence from our students, we model it.
