	As They See It...

	"The accreditation process gives teachers the opportunity to see past the four walls of the classroom. Together, all segments of the school community focus on the students and their learning and critically look at what is working and what needs to be improved. Although the process takes time and much effort, it results in a renewed sense of purpose and a common understanding and focus on helping all students learn."
	Gail Sakata Teacher, Barbers Point Elementary Kapolei, Hawaii,
