(1.) Note – the number of meetings and dates of meetings will ultimately be determined by the Joint Committee. The timeline provides a potential model and estimate for planning and budgeting purposes. For example, in some years, only 3 meetings with the entire JC may be necessary and a fourth meeting may be devoted to subcommittee meetings, or a virtual meeting.
*Between JC meetings members are revising and writing as well as reviewing other JC member’s revisions. Conference calls will also take place between JC meetings.
**Presentations at other conferences or meetings may also occur
the American Psychological Association, and the National Council on Measurement in Education
