The Wisconsin Peer Review process is designed to be a useful tool for program development and support. The process allows Centers to examine their work and receive feedback from peers in a non-threatening, supportive atmosphere. The following is an overview of the Peer Review process. Background documents for all Reviews include self-assessments, current Application for Continued Funding, and quarterly reports from the years since the last Review. Each Family Resource Center Director is randomly chosen and then recruits a parent from their program.
Parents can request reimbursement for childcare expenses.
Program Directors from centers not involved in the review are invited to observe any of the reviews. The Children's Trust Fund only reimburses expenses for the Peer Review Team. The Family Resource Center staff and key stakeholders complete these tools prior to the site-visit. Peer Review Team reviews the documents in advance of the site-visit. During the evening session, the team also participates in a discussion facilitated by the Children's Trust Fund Programs Director to review process and roles, ensure shared leadership between team members, and answer any questions relevant to the peer review process.
