Abstract | Finds the American system of voluntary accreditation unique worldwide. Traces the development of K-12 and higher education in the United States and efforts since 1870 toward educational standardization. Describes 1873-1909 as a period of confusion and disagreement. Explores the roots of accreditation, the role of accrediting agencies, secondary and postsecondary accreditation, and the role of the Carnegie Foundation. (15 references.) (MAB) |
