[Ohiogift] ODE request for content advisory committees or bias review committee

[anngift at aol.com]

If you are a GIS in a content area, please consider nominating yourself for one of the advisory committees. OAGC will be nominating several individuals as well. 


Special Request: The Ohio Department of Education is accepting until January 11, 2012 nominations for one of 42 Content Advisory Committees, or a Bias Review Committee, to review and validate educator assessments for new educator licensure assessments. 


Educators and college faculty members are urged to apply or nominate educators to participate in this process to develop meaningful assessments for licensure. These assessments, which will replace a series of Praxis tests, were developed by the Evaluation Systems group of Pearson, and will be used beginning in September 2013.


Please submit names and email addresses of nominees to 
http://www.cvent.com/Surveys/Welcome.aspx?s=ac2e5966-d813-498c-9ba1-f30e11a61dfa.


The password is OH!2013.


Once nominated, the selected assessment vendor, Evaluation Systems group of Pearson, will send each educator, via the e-mail address provided, the website link and password to complete an application to serve on either a Bias Review Committee or one of the 42 Content Advisory Committees. The application period will close on January 31, 2013. Early submission will ensure application review and consideration.


Pearson will receive the completed applications and present those applications to the Ohio Department of Education, which will make final committee appointments.


Pearson will provide reimbursement for substitutes and travel expenses for any face-to-face meetings attended by selected nominees. 


Questions may be directed to Christine Conlon, of Pearson’s Evaluation Systems group, at christine.conlon at pearson.com.
