Availability confirmation
There will be 30 item writers--one per question. A smaller subset of these folks will comprise the Item Writing Review Team(IWRT). This group, ~12 people, will be responsible for reviewing items written, hone unsatisfactory items, and have consensus/leveling meetings with the other members of the IWRT to finalize the question set. We're aiming for item writers to not be able to view questions in progress outside of the domain to which they are working on, so that they can remain eligible to be certified if they wish to do so. The IWRT will more likely be exposed to enough questions that this will be difficult to allow. Please keep this in mind when offering to take on one of these volunteering roles.
Time commitment:
- 1.5 hour intro webinar to learn the format and how to write the question(s)--item writers & IWRT
- 2 to 5 hours​ independently writing and reviewing the question with Item Writing Review Team members--items writers & IWRT
- 5 to 6 1-hour online meetings to reach consensus, group review, and level items--IWRT only
