Program Review

Programs should reflect best practices, meet state and national guidelines, and have demonstrable impact. CTD will help assess your services and set priorities for improvement. Comprehensive program reviews can be customized to your goals and budget, but typically include:

Following the review, CTD provides a report with recommendations in each priority area identified.  

Program review costs are generally between $5,000 and $15,000, but vary based on review components and size of the project.

"The review offered several recommendations, priorities and a wealth of resources.  The staff was more than willing to lead and coach us in the implementation of their recommendations.  Due to our partnership with them, we better understand the needs of our stakeholders, strengths of our program, and goals for the future.  I highly recommend!"

- Jennifer Way, Director of District Improvement, Kankakee School District 111
