CLTI provides support to faculty and staff by working with you and others on your program review team as you research and write the self-study component of the program review.
A program review is an in-depth analysis of a program by both the program itself (the self-study) and by external peer reviewers (the external review). Program reviews provide an opportunity to confirm what works well in a program and identify ways for the program to improve and grow.
As your program partner, CLTI works with you every step of the way. This may include any or all of the following:
- Educating you and your team about program reviews and how to successfully complete one, including:
- Answering your questions as they arise and helping you to understand the process and timelines related to conducting a program review self-study
- Providing the templates necessary to conduct your program review and coaching you to use them effectively
- Collaborating with and supporting you and your team in various data gathering initiatives, including:
- Requesting data from College departments (e.g., Registrar’s Office, Finance, Marketing and Communications)
- Planning, scheduling, and attending meetings (in-person or virtual) to gather stakeholder feedback about experiences or ideas about the program
- Creating curriculum maps and mapping outcomes
- Synthesizing data and developing meaningful and supportable recommendations for change
- Reviewing your program review and offering constructive feedback
In short, we are here to help you succeed.
In-depth Analysis of Programs
A program review is an in-depth analysis of a program by both the program itself (the self-study) and by external peer reviewers (the external review). Program reviews provide an opportunity to confirm what works well in a program and identify ways for the program to improve and grow.
The documents in a program review have three main purposes:
- Informing and serving as a blueprint for curricular and pedagogical modifications within a program
- Identifying ways to strengthen a program (e.g., partnerships, learning pathways, experiential learning) and grow a program (e.g., new audiences, curriculum streaming, marketing)
- Creating public transparency regarding the continuous quality improvement efforts of Aurora College toward curriculum and pedagogy
