Test Development Assistant information

What is a test development assistant?

Test Development Assistants are professionals who support the creation, organization, and administration of educational or professional assessments. They typically assist with tasks such as item writing, test formatting, proofreading, and maintaining databases of test questions. Their work ensures that exams are accurate, fair, and effectively measure the intended knowledge or skills. They may also help with data entry, preparing test materials, and coordinating logistics for test administration. Test Development Assistants often work under the supervision of test developers or psychometricians in educational institutions, certification boards, or testing organizations.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a test development assistant?

To thrive as a Test Development Assistant, you need strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and a background in educational measurement or a related field, often supported by a bachelor's degree. Familiarity with data analysis tools, test item authoring software, and learning management systems is typically required. Excellent communication, teamwork, and time management skills help you collaborate with stakeholders and manage multiple projects efficiently. These skills ensure the accuracy, fairness, and timely delivery of assessment materials essential for educational or certification programs.

What are the main challenges test development assistants face when coordinating with subject matter experts?

Test Development Assistants often work closely with subject matter experts (SMEs) to create accurate and relevant assessment materials. A common challenge is translating complex or technical content provided by SMEs into clear, measurable test items that align with learning objectives and testing standards. Effective communication, attention to detail, and familiarity with assessment frameworks are essential to bridge the gap between subject expertise and test design. Building strong collaborative relationships can help ensure the final assessments are both valid and reliable.

Y Club Youth Leader

YMCA of Greater Kansas City

Shawnee, KS • On-site

$15.50/hr

Part-time

Re-posted 19 days ago

Job description

Overview

Are you passionate about helping kids learn, grow, and thrive? Join the YMCA of Greater Kansas City in our Y Club before and after school program. This position plays a meaningful role in creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment for elementary-aged children. You'll lead fun activities with a group of children, including crafts, sports, snack time and more!

Two Roles. One Mission.

Youth Development Assistant (Ages 16+) — Support role, great for high school students or those just starting out.

Youth Development Leader (Ages 18+) — Lead your own group of kids with more responsibility and independence.

Why You’ll Love This Role
  • Flexible schedule — mornings, afternoons, or both
  • Consistent part-time hours (done by 6pm)
  • Free YMCA membership
  • Ongoing training and professional development
  • Make a real impact on kids every day
  • Great experience for anyone interested in education, childcare, or youth work
Schedule & Pay

Schedule: Weekday mornings before school and/or afternoons after school until 6 pm.

Youth Development Leader: $15.50/hour starting

Youth Development Assistant: $15.00/hour starting

(Increases based on experience and education)

OUR CULTURE:

The YMCA of Greater Kansas City’s mission and core values are brought to life by our culture. It’s who we are, who we aspire to be and how we show up every day. We are cause-driven. We don’t just show up, we show up with purpose. We are welcoming: we are open to all. We are a place where you can belong and become. We are genuine: we value you and embrace your individuality. We are hopeful: we believe in you and your potential to become a catalyst in the world. We are nurturing: we support you in your journey to develop your full potential. We are determined: above all else, we are on a relentless quest to make our community stronger beginning with you.

Responsibilities

  • Lead fun age-appropriate activities; including games, arts and crafts, STEM projects, and physical activity.
  • Keep kids safe by teaching and enforcing safety rules and responding quickly and appropriately in emergencies
  • Guide behavior by teaching and redirecting rather than scolding — enforcing rules firmly while treating every child with dignity and respect
  • Verify photo ID before releasing children at pickup until you personally know each authorized adult
  • Build positive relationships with kids, families, school staff, and your YMCA teammates
  • Be dependable for your scheduled shifts, follow all YMCA, licensing, and school district policies, and help keep program spaces clean and organized

Youth Development Leaders also provide direct supervision in leading a group of children on their own.

All youth development associates are mandated reporters under Kansas and Missouri law and must immediately report suspected child abuse or neglect, as well as any unsafe conditions, accidents, or injuries.

Qualifications

Who We’re Looking For

We have opportunities for both high school students (16+) and adults (18+). You don’t need formal experience — we value people who care about kids and are reliable.

  • Previous experience working with school-age children is a plus (babysitting, nannying, camp, childcare programs, etc.)
  • Works effectively with people of different backgrounds, abilities, opinions and perceptions
  • Able to actively engage with and supervise children in a range of indoor and outdoor activities — this is an on-your-feet role that takes energy and alertness
  • A genuine interest in helping kids learn, play, and grow
  • Have a general understanding of computer technology.
  • Tuberculosis Test Risk Assessment and State Health Assessment form within 30 days (in MO).

Youth Development Assistant

  • Minimum age of 16.

Youth Leader Job Qualifications

  • Minimum age of 18.
  • High school diploma or equivalent required at Kansas sites.
  • One year or more of college preferred.
