MORNING WORKSHOP: 8:30 a.m. to Noon
Building Effective Assessment Programs: Best Practices for Developing Various Item Types
Presented by Maura Burke, Ph.D. & Greg Haudek, Ph.D.
Assessments play a critical role in talent management systems. The performance of those assessments is dependent on the quality of exam content. The purpose of this workshop is to provide (a) training on best practice for writing effective items commonly used in selection programs and (b) provide an opportunity for participants to practice developing these types of items and receive feedback from experts in assessment development. More specifically, this workshop will focus on three types of items commonly used in selection including (1) situational judgment items, (2) personality items, and (3) structured interview questions. The session will conclude with a discussion on the future of item development, including how AI is being inserted in traditional human item development processes.
