Contemporary Perspectives on Professional Licensure and Certification

Professionals working in the licensure and certification testing industry spend years studying, and subsequently honing, skills necessary for administering high-stakes tests: test development, item calibration, standard setting, to name but a few. However, most testing professionals receive little or no training on the complex legal, political, and business arena their tests are administered within. This book series focuses not on the test itself, but on that ether surrounding the test. The series Contemporary Perspectives on Professional Licensure and Certification gives voice to testing professionals from across the professional landscape to discuss the policies and politics that surround today’s complex testing machinery.
