Teachers will create test items for courses that are not aligned to any national or state assessments. Teachers will be compensated $72 (item writers and reviewers) or $108 (item specification developers) for completing the online professional development module. Participants who have successfully completed online training will be eligible to receive compensation for writing, editing, and reviewing test items.
