Dear Texas Educator,

 

On behalf of the Texas Education Agency (TEA), Educational Testing Service (ETS) is seeking instructors at higher educational institutions to serve on a virtual item review committee for the TExES tests listed below. 

 

We are also interested in applicants from various regional education service centers who are certified in the TExES tests listed below. Please note, however, that committee members cannot be current ETS TExES item writers or ETS consultants.

 

Committee Meeting Dates

The committee meetings will last approximately two to four (2-4) hours over a period of one to three (1-3) days.. To ensure that we have the greatest amount of participation possible, we are surveying interested applicants for their availability to attend meetings on the following days:

 

We ask you to participate in the review that matches your teaching experience and certification.
