Welcome A Message from the Director Welcome to the New Mexico Web Site of the North Central Association Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement (NCA CASI). The New Mexico Office of NCA CASI is dedicated to providing quality service to all of our stakeholders - school administrators, teachers, staff, school board members, students, parents, the New Mexico Public Education Department, and all of our partner organizations. We proudly serve both public schools and districts and private schools in our state. NCA CASI is an accreditation division of AdvancED. Learn more about AdvancED.
Our research-based Accreditation Standards for the 21st Century are grounded in what matters most for improving student learning outcomes. To achieve these standards, the accreditation process embraces a systems approach that supports the alignment of the State's School Improvement Framework to the work of School and District Accreditation. Your state office is here to support every aspect of School, District and Diocesan Accreditation from administering quality assurance reviews to providing technical assistance and professional development. We are only a phone call away with expert guidance, useful resources and helpful tools to assist our fellow educators in the ongoing mission of providing quality education for every child.
One of the highlights of our year is the New Mexico Quality Education Awards Program, which is the only program of its kind in the state to recognize, publicize, and promote outstanding "promising practices" in New Mexico's public and private schools. We invite you to participate in this important awards program, and become a part of the NCA CASI network.
Thank you for visiting our Web site, and we hope you find it useful and informative. Please call our office if you would like additional information regarding School, District or Diocesan Accreditation processes, resources and/or professional development opportunities.
Dr. Susanna Murphy
