Every program your district runs, HiCap, Special Education, MTSS, Title I, Culture and Climate, gets reviewed differently, if it gets reviewed at all. Compliance monitoring tells you whether the paperwork is right. It rarely tells you whether the program is actually working, or gives you anything you can bring to your board besides a list of what is missing.
CEE’s program review process asks the same six questions of every program, then measures each one against the standard that actually applies to it, whether that is NAGC standards for HiCap, IDEA indicators for Special Education, or ESSA requirements for Title I. The framework stays consistent. The benchmark underneath it changes to fit the program.
Our Approach
One Framework, Not Five Different Audits
The same six-domain review applies whether the program under review is HiCap, Special Education, MTSS, Title I, or Culture and Climate, with the right benchmark swapped in underneath.
Six Questions, Asked Every Time
Alignment, access and equity, implementation fidelity, effectiveness, resource efficiency, and sustainability. Every review answers the same six questions, so results are comparable year over year.
Findings Built From Three Kinds of Data
Outcome data, process data, and real conversations with staff and families. No single number and no single opinion carries the whole finding.
Recommendations Tied to Your Strategic Plan
Findings come prioritized, with owners and timelines, and connected to the plan your board already knows, not a stand-alone critique that ends up in a drawer.
What Your District Gains
1
A maturity score, Emerging to Exemplary, instead of a pass or fail that puts staff on the defensive
2
One consistent process across every program area, instead of a different audit style for each one
3
A clear answer on whether a program is compliant, effective, both, or neither, not just a paperwork check
4
An action plan with owners and a review cadence, so the findings turn into a cycle instead of a report that sits in a binder
