INITIAL PROGRAM REVIEW (IPR) AND PROGRAM ASSESSMENT (PA) REVIEW DATES 2012
Starting in 2012 IPR and PA will be combining their review dates. After you register, CTC Staff will assign you a partner and either an IPR or PA document based on expertise and BIR training. Additionally, readings will be reduced to a one day format and readers will be required to participate in a calibration activity online prior to arrival at the Commission. A link to the calibration will be sent out no less than 3 weeks prior to the reading session.
Feel free to email ProgramAssessment@ctc.ca.gov or IPR@ctc.ca.gov with questions about the new process. Additional dates will be posted on this page and announced in the PSD E-News as they are scheduled. Registration will open approximately 2 months prior to the reading date and will be announced in the PSD E-News . [ Subscribe to PSD News ]
