National Accreditation: Why Do Some Programs Stall in Self-Study?
Talley, Karen
Young Children, v52 n3 p31-37 Mar 1997
A survey examined why many early childhood programs either stalled or gave up during the self-study phase of the accreditation process. Significant factors cited by survey participants were lack of time and staff turnover/program instability. Based on these results, it was recommended that the early childhood community address the issues of compensation and affordability, professionalism, and public support. (TJQ)
