ABC Item Writing Volunteers |
Help Shape the Future of ABC Certification Exams!
Thank you for your interest in assisting ABC with Item Writing and Exam Development. Please fill out the following survey so that we may better place you in the appropriate item writing groups. Each volunteer will be provided item writing training and writing assignments by our psychometric partner, PSI, to complete by a due date. You will be supported though the process by periodic video conferencing through the months of July and August to discuss process, hurdles, and strategies for successfully completing your tasks.
If you complete your assignment by the due date, you will automatically receive a $25 gift card. You will also be entered to win one of our grand prizes:
· 1 lucky winner will receive a conference registration to either AWWA or WEF, and a $500 gift card
· 4 winners will receive an AWWA or WEF Conference Registration
· 10 winners to receive a $100 gift card
· 10 winners to receive a $50 gift card
All volunteers will be issued a Professional Development certificate that they can use for CEU credit for the ABC or PO Certification program (talk with your state or provincial certification issuer to see if they will honor these credits as well). By completing your assignment, you will also gain an opportunity to be selected for item review, where participants assist our psychometricians in determining what goes on the new industry standardized exams. This honor goes to only a select few and includes an all-expense paid trip to sunny Kansas City, where you will meet colleagues from around the world, develop lifelong friendships and be treated to some fun outings! Following your survey completion, you will receive an email outlining next steps. If you are not selected for this round of item writing, have no fear! We will be continuing to develop our exams and will have additional item writing and exam development opportunities in the future.
