Notice Title

STA-0325 Educational Psychologist Resource

Notice Description

The Standards and Testing Agency (STA) is looking to recruit experienced Educational Psychologists to review versions of the assessments it develops. If there are policy changes and there are changes to the assessments in development, they would be included. As part of the process of developing national curriculum assessments, STA includes an Inclusion Review, with the purpose to ensure our assessments are accessible to children with a range of special educational needs. Educational Psychologists will provide support to this panel by providing thorough feedback through report writing on the assessment materials that we have in development. Following this feedback, we will review any items that may pose unfair challenges to children with SEND. STA is seeking individuals with prior experience as qualified Educational Psychologists who have worked with primary-aged children. In this position, you will leverage your extensive experience to assist us in tailoring our assessment questions to better meet the needs of children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). Your responsibilities will include reviewing assessment materials and submitting completed questionnaires. Additionally, you may be required to attend a meeting to review comments and determine how to address the concerns raised. There may be occasional requests to review and provide advice on questions as the need arises. The expected commitment for this role is between 8 to 20 days throughout the contract duration. However, this estimate may vary depending on our ability to secure all required experts or their availability for review periods. Payment will be based solely on completed work, with no minimum requirement of days for the contract. This position offers an opportunity to gain insights into the development of national curriculum assessments and the challenges surrounding testing and inclusion. The successful Educational Psychologists must: * be a qualified Educational Psychologist * have experience working with primary aged children * be flexible and available to review materials remotely in a secure location or in our Coventry or London offices, as and when required in agreement with the relevant project team * have the capacity to meet the requirement set out in this ITT * confirm that they are not working on the tests in any other capacity or if they are, they must provide additional information in the Further Information Section of this ITT * be able to work within security protocols. Please note that the closing date for all bids is 5 June 2024 at 12:00 and any clarification questions must be received no later than 22 May 2024 at 12:00. For more information, please see the invitation to tender (ITT) for the Provision of Educational Psychologist resource for the Standards and Testing Agency (ref: STA-0325).
