This brief describes the participatory action research by the Office of Community College Research and Leadership (OCCRL)--built on the findings of an initial evaluation study of the Illinois Community College Board (ICCB) program review process--toward the development of an equity-centered rubric to advance learning and support for the state's Career and Technical Education (CTE) Program Review process. The need for a rubric was identified by participants in the evaluation study and was created to identify professional development, technical support, and supplemental materials that could improve outcomes associated with the program review. The study served to provoke consideration of how the program review process should lead to action steps reflective of equity-guided continuous improvement models, including the necessity of student's voice to inform practice and participant commitment to strategic planning and resource sharing.
