Christopher Kincheloe Email & Phone Number

- Leads a 6-member team in the item development and review, summative form construction, and pool management phases for various projects. - Gives formal annual review to staff and provides recommendations for promotion to senior management.- Schedules and manages over 6000-item development cycles with competing deadlines across several projects for 30-member team.- Mentors and trains staff in all aspects of item development, staff, client, and vendor management, and how to facilitate or assist in client and educator meetings.- Collaborates with psychometricians and state department of education clients to create interim and summative math blueprints across several state projects for both fixed form and computer adaptive tests. - Assistant overall content lead for Cambium’s internal bank where I collaborated with overall content lead to plan an educator review of over 5000 math items in 3 days, set up item bank for all subjects, and get multiple state banks ready to open their summative testing windows.- Conduct senior reviews of summative and interim test items, fixed operational forms, computer adaptive test pools, draft blueprints, item specifications, and other test development resources.- Promoted to senior test developer after leading and developing a team for 2 review cycles.

- Oversaw 3 development cycles which resulted in the creation of 3800 summative math items for grades 3 through high school geometry with greater than a 98% acceptance rate. - Created item specification documents for each grade and course for internal and public consumption. - Collaborated with client during state’s standard revision process to create a crosswalk between the old and new standards, develop a process to determine which operational items aligned to the new standards, update the performance level descriptors, and create and implement a plan to edit items in the current development cycle to ensure new standard alignment. - Performed pool analysis, created item development plans, and implemented the plans with a team of over 25 in-house test developers and vendors to ensure the development of rich, high-quality technology-enhanced items.- Collaborated with client during the content review process, providing feedback and support to item writers.

- Created math items that align to state standards, a specific depth of knowledge, and an estimated difficulty level. - Created and reviewed summative math tests. - Led content advisory, rubric validation, and data review meetings which all involved committees of 5–12 educators reviewing and critiquing items at various points in the development process for all grades 3 through high school geometry.Past Project Experienceo High School Grade Band Lead for Ohio’s State Test, 2015–2016o Math Content Lead, MAAC consortium (HI, ID, OR, SD, USVI, WA, WV), 2015–2017o Algebra I Grade Level Lead for Florida Standards Assessment, 2014–2015o Middle School Grade Band Lead, Utah SAGE Assessment, 2013–2014o Math Content Lead, Ohio Graduation Test, 2013–2019General Project Dutieso Oversaw the development of math items, ensuring the items met the client’s specifications. o Collaborated with client during the content review process, discussing items and editing them throughout. o Led various meetings with client and educators.o Provided feedback and support to item writers. Created operational and embedded field test summative forms.

- Created, reviewed, and edited algorithmic math problems for developmental mathematics through third year calculus for use in the online homework, tutorial, and assessment systems MyMathLab and MathXL- Established new, efficient methods to develop problems that are algorithmically challenging to create. These methods were then formed into templates to be used by other developers in later projects.- Tested new functionality before public release. - Trained colleagues in the development and maintenance of content.
