Here’s how the Program Review works

Step 1 – LERN provides your program with a list of items such as data, information, and materials for you to submit at the beginning of the process.

Step 2 – A LERN consultant visits your program for two days. Day 1 is for review, question and answers, and information gathering. Day 2 is when an initial report is given to your program.

Step 3 – A 3-10 page Program Review report is created specifically for your program including analysis and recommendations.

“ LERN'S Program Review was a critical step in transforming our division. In 2001, we went through the process for the first time. It helped our staff understand the key performance benchmarks necessary to measure in our industry and became a common platform for discussion and debate. The greatest result of the process was understanding what we really needed to do to become a top performing program.”
