Abstract	Through its program review process, the Illinois Community College Board (ICCB) coordinates a statewide system of review of programs of study provided by community colleges in Illinois. The intent of this review process is to support colleges in making campus-level planning and decision-making related to the quality, cost effectiveness, assessment, and improvement of programs. In addition, the review process identifies programs that should be discontinued or scaled-back and offers best practices and other exemplary innovations that can be scaled internally or externally within the college. A significantly modified 2017-2021 program review manual and supporting materials are provided by the ICCB to guide the process. As such, evaluation of the new manual, as well as supportive processes and materials, presents a timely opportunity to provide formative feedback intended to improve the efficacy of the process. The Office of Community College Research and Leadership (OCCRL) is conducting an evaluation of the ICCB program review process for career and technical education (CTE) programs. The first phase of the study, summarized in this report, focuses on the first cycle of the ICCB's new program review process that ended September 1, 2017. OCCRL has four goals for this evaluation study: (1) Improve the efficiency and efficacy of the program review process by identifying challenges, redundancies and omissions, and provide recommendations for refining the process; (2) Examine variations of the program review process across institutional contexts and institutional identities (e.g., rural/suburban/urban, minority-serving institutions/predominately white institutions, small/large student populations) to understand how the process is utilized across diverse institutions throughout Illinois; (3) Identify professional development, technical support, and supplemental materials that could improve outcomes associated with the program review; and (4) Enhance the application of program review findings in colleges' campus-level programmatic planning and decision-making. This report discusses the study, focuses on specific areas of ICCB's CTE program review template, offers suggestions for improvement, and discusses next steps to extend and expand on the information learned from the expertise shared in this initial study.
