We are looking for assessors in education, psychology, or related fields to collect data for our Preschool Evaluation Project (PEP). The position would consist of administering assessment measures to preschool and kindergarten students in the areas of reading and math using the PPVT and certain measures of the WJ IV Achievement and Oral language batteries. Assessors will also be responsible for scoring the protocols using the online scoring system.
We will be assessing students across the state of Connecticut until February 29th and paying $60 per case. Administration and scoring time should be around 1.5- 2 hours per student, and we ask that you complete at least 4 assessments a week.
Direct experience with the assessment measures is not necessary, as a mandatory training will be held during the week of January 18th. However, completion of at least one assessment course is recommended (but not required).
If you are interested, please email the study email at uconn.pep.2015@gmail.com. In the email, please include your name, phone number, and town(s) in which you currently reside. We make every attempt to place assessors at schools within 30-40 minutes of home (or less), so information about where you live is helpful for the scheduling process.
Thank you, and we look forward to hearing from you!
