The statewide program review process for Illinois community colleges required by the Illinois Community College Board (ICCB) is scheduled on a five-year cycle, however, the value of program review is lost without regular opportunities for engagement and reflection on what has been learned through the process (Eggleston, 2020). Furthermore, one of the stated purposes of program review is to address inequities (ICCB, 2021). If community colleges are going to leverage program review to meet this purpose, ongoing and consistent data collection and analysis are critical to evaluating progress. One way that community colleges can bolster the value of program review is through the implementation of an annual review process. Members of the inaugural Program Review Advisory Committee (PRAC), comprised of scholar practitioners across the state, have informed the development of an annual program review template as a resource for interested practitioners to implement this practice (ICCB, n.d.). This strategy brief explores the value of implementing an annual program review process to address inequities -- highlighting both the challenges and opportunities of incorporating an annual process into the current 5-year cyclical review process.
