Meet Your Council Members
Your AdvancED Oklahoma Council represents the best interests of our schools, providing a practitioner’s perspective to professional learning and strategic planning. A smaller group is currently involved in a SWOT (Strength/Weakness/Opportunities/Threats) analysis to further inform the strategic plan.  If you have ideas you would like to share with the AdvancED Oklahoma Director, Dr. Nancy Bolz, or any of the council members, please click on their names to contact them.

A Few Reminders..

Demographics Update: Don’t forget to update your school or school system demographics in the AdvancED database. We depend on you to ensure that your demographics are kept current in ASSIST™.  To update your demographics, please go to www.advanc-ed.org and log in with your email address and password.   Select ASSIST and access the Profile from the selections. Please access the Demographics Update link to review and make corrections as needed. If you need assistance, please contact Janene Eisenhart, Administrative Assistant, AdvancED Oklahoma.

Annual Accreditation Fees: If you haven’t mailed your annual AdvancED accreditation fees, please do so as soon as possible. If you need a copy of the invoice, please contact
Cathy Winnie.

Volunteers for External Review Teams: AdvancED Oklahoma always is looking for experienced educators to serve on External Review Teams. It is an outstanding professional learning opportunity. In addition to the service you’re providing to our schools, you can earn either graduate college credit or professional learning points. If you need information about either, please contact
Janene Eisenhart.  If you would like to serve on a school or school system External Review Team, please contact Nancy Bolz.

Professional Learning Opportunities: Don't forget to check out the professional learning opportunities coming up. Click here to access our next webinar Continuing the Journey After Your External Review.  This will help keep schools who hosted reviews last year on track! Also, we’re finalizing the logistics for workshops in January. Look for an email soon!
