    • Abstract:
      In 2018 the Office of Community College Research and Leadership (OCCRL) conducted an evaluation of the Illinois Community College Board's (ICCB) program review process, focusing on the career and technical education (CTE) programs. The purpose of program review is to support community colleges in decisionmaking and planning as related to institutional programming. OCCRL therefore framed the study to explore the use of the program review process as a tool for supporting student-centered, equity-minded, evidence-driven change within the Illinois community college system. In conducting the evaluation, members of the research team focused on seven environmental and institutional factors derived from various literature sources to include leadership, strategic investments, equity-guided processes, engagement, statewide guidance and governance, data literacy, and infrastructure and information technologies (Arenth, Bennett, Bernadotte, Carnahan, Dube, Thompson, & Walton, 2017; Bragg, Bennett, & McCambly; Copland, Knapp, & Swinnerton, 2009; Spurlock & Johnston, 2012). This brief focuses specifically on the engagement factor and introduces student voice as an area of advancement within the program review process.
