[CogSci] Interested in Writing Items for the EPPP (Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology)

[Peter X Graf]

*ASPPB Call for Volunteers for the EPPP (Part 1-Knowledge): MC Item Writers*



The Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards (ASPPB),* is
seeking volunteers with expertise and experience in writing multiple-choice
(MC) test items/questions* for the Examination for Professional Practice in
Psychology Part 1 – Knowledge (EPPP-1).

Item writers are the people who write the MC items that are on the EPPP-1.

Writers are selected for their expertise and experience, to represent
geographic, work, demographic, cultural and professional diversities.
Writers are professors, researchers, psychologists in practice, etc.. Early
career psychologists are encouraged to apply.

Item writers are professionals working in one or more of the knowledge
domains assessed by the EPPP-1: 1. Biological Bases of Behavior; 2
Cognitve-Affective Bases of Behavior; 3. Social and Cultural Bases of
Behavior; 4. Growth and Lifespan Development; 5. Assessment and Diagnosis;
6. Treatment, Intervention, and Prevention and Supervision; 7. Research
Methods and Statistics; 8. Ethical/Legal/Professional Issues.

*This is a call for item-writer volunteers for all EPPP1 Domains*, except
for Domain 3.

*What Item Writers Do:* Item writers meet once each year in the Spring, at
the ASPPB office in Tyrone GA -- for a 2-day item writing workshop. Each
writer drafts 10-15 new items prior to the workshop, and at the workshop, these
fledgling items are reviewed, revised, tweaked, etc. in a group session
with the item-writer colleagues from the same knowledge domain. (For the
item writing workshop, the ASPPB covers travel and accommodation costs.)

If you are interested in becoming an EPPP1 item writer, please send a brief
note and a *copy of your current CV* to *asppb.eppp1 at gmail.com
<asppb.eppp1 at gmail.com>*. Your note will come to me, Peter Graf, Chair of
the EPPP1 Item Writing Committee (IDC). In your note, please briefly
summarize your expertise and experience vis a vis one of the EPPP1 Domains.

Item writers are vetted by me as the Chair of the IDC, in collaboration
with the chair of the knowledge domain (each domain has between 3 and 7
writers, plus a chair) and with Hao Song, the ASPPB Associate Executive
Officer of Examination Services.

Please forward this message to any individuals who you think may be
interested in volunteering to write items for the EPPP-1.

Thank you for reading this note.

Peter Graf

Chair EPPP1 IDC
