Application for Assessment Committee Work – Special Education Teachers Sought
OAA would like to thank the many Kentucky educators who have responded to the Application for Assessment Committees work. More special education teachers are needed to complete important assessment activities this summer. A large portion of this work will be accomplished virtually and participants will receive a stipend. Please apply or encourage someone qualified to apply!!
The Kentucky Department of Education is seeking Kentucky special educators to assist in the many assessments related tasks coming up in the next several months. The goal is to have assessments of the highest quality, accurately measuring the Kentucky Academic Standards, and above all, to be fair to all test takers. Creating the Kentucky Summative Assessments (KSA) and the Alternate Kentucky Summative Assessments (AKSA) is a complex process that involves many steps including standard setting, item writing, bias review and blueprint development. Legislatively required Review Committees and Advisory Panels are part of this important process. K-12 and postsecondary educators, as well as community stakeholders, interested in participating in the assessment development and review work are needed. A pool of candidates is being gathered for these critical steps and other supporting activities that may occur. Applications are being accepted for each of these activities in reading, mathematics, science, social studies and writing.
The Application for Assessment Committees is due May 19 for summer 2022. If not chosen for participation this summer, applicant names will be kept on file for future assessment work.
