This session will also provide counsel about evaluating the school’s curriculum and teaching practice in-house to assess areas for improvement before the visit and will address how to communicate with teachers as the school walks through this process.

Speaker
Carmen Watson has been a teacher in classical Christian schools for 17 years and an administrator for 9 years. She most recently served as the upper school principal at Providence Classical School (PCS) in Spring, TX. During her time at PCS, Carmen successfully coordinated the school’s ACCS reaccreditation process twice, and she is currently working with PCS to shepherd them through this process for a third time. She has also served on two accreditation visit committees, so she is familiar with the accreditation process from both sides. Carmen earned her MEd in curriculum and instruction from Covenant College in 2016 and enjoys helping teachers and administrators improve classroom practice and the documentation of their curriculum and other systems.
