We have three projects in the works that need both examiners and examinees. Even if you do not serve this population, it would be helpful if you would forward this to colleagues who do. Briefly, here's what we are looking for: School Districts to help with the standardization of Aprenda, a Spanish achievement test. Ages required are grades kindergarten through 12th grade. This is a group administered test, and pay depends upon the number of usable test events. Qualifying candidates for the project may have lived in the US only 3 or 4 years, depending upon their age. Bilingual Psychologists or Educational Diagnosticians to assist with the standardization of Wechsler Intelligence Scales for Children en Espanol. This is the first time our product has been developed in Spanish. Qualifying students for this project are ages 6 to 16 who have lived in the United States fewer than 5 years. We especially need help reaching Cuban, Puerto Rican and Dominican children. Bilingual Speech-Language Pathologists, Educational Diagnosticians or Psychologists with experience giving language tests to assist with the standardization of Clinical Evaluation of Language Fundamentals Fourth Edition in Spanish. This project will involve Spanish speakers ages 5-21. Please feel free to share this with bilingual and or ESL colleagues who may be interested in joining these projects. I'd be glad to send additional, more detailed information and enrollment materials. Julia Kearney Sampling Special Projects Coordinator Harcourt Assessment Inc. 800-233-5686 x 5204 fax 800-727-0807
