people who replied was absolutely amazing and we had more potential volunteers than we knew what to do with. If you responded positively to either of these recent surveys, you can expect to receive future invitations for exam development activities. If you haven’t responded in the past but wish to be added to the volunteer pool, please email Fae Mellichamp at fmellichamp@proftesting.com and let her know you’d like to be included on future invitations.
We know that there are many of you out there that would like to help, but cannot travel for a variety of reasons. We are currently researching ways to allow certificants who have attended item writer training to send new items to us securely, |
so that they can contribute new questions even if they are not at a conference. Along the same lines, we hope to utilize internet conferencing technology so that certificants can participate in item writing and review activities without having to travel at all.
Ok, so it’s too delayed to be a true reinforcer, but we do offer Type 5 CE for participation in exam development activities. We greatly value the contributions of the certificants who take the time to assist with exam development and we believe that these activities provide unique learning opportunities that are certainly worthy of CE credit. If you’ve always wondered how you can earn Type 5 CE, well, now you know!

| Last, but certainly not least, the BACB would like to thank the certificants (named below) who volunteered their valuable time in 2006 by participating in item writing workshops at various conferences, the cut-score panel held in Tallahassee, and examination review panel meetings also held in Tallahassee. Although there are too many to mention individually, we’d also like to thank all of the certificants who responded to the online survey. All of us are fortunate that we have fellow certificants who are willing to donate their time and knowledge to ensure that the BACB continues to maintain the highest of standards. |
