By The Numbers: Data You Can Use
A Presentation by Wallace Judd, Ph.D.
Wednesday, June 20, 2007
Do your eyes glaze over when people start talking about numbers—and seem fascinated about it?
Are you not really sure how to explain the significance of certification data numbers to your Board?
Would you really like to know what's going on with your test and if it is really performing the way you intended?
This presentation is for everyone who needs to understand and participate in the conversations in the certification community, when people start tossing terms around like psychometrics, item banks, cut scores, and turning all of this lingo into value statements for employers and people who take certification tests.
And, best of all, you don’t need extraordinary math skills; just an ability to read charts and graphs.
Join Dr. Judd and the Certification Network Group to find out practical answers to questions like:
- How should I evaluate my items?
- How do I keep my tests current?
- What process will keep my tests continually improving?
Bring your questions and certification expertise to this CNG Quarterly gathering on June 20th!
