Minnesota Technology, Inc. earned accreditation from the North Central Association Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement (NCA CASI).  Minnesota Technology, Inc. joins 9,000 educational organizations across a 19 state region that were honored for attaining accreditation. 

To earn accreditation, organizations must meet NCA CASI’s high standards, be evaluated by a team of professionals from outside the organization, and implement a continuous improvement plan focused on increasing performance.  The accreditation process is voluntary and requires annual review.   

Accreditation provides an external mark of quality and a focus on continuous improvement.  Wayne Pletcher, who leads the organization’s improvement team, stated, “The real value of NCA CASI accreditation is the focus on improvement.  The accreditation process focuses our staff on analyzing performance data, identifying areas of weakness, and developing clear goals and plans for improvement.  We regularly assess and measure our progress in all goal areas, and NCA CASI holds us accountable for demonstrating growth.  The process keeps everyone in the organization focused on raising achievement.”
