Pearson is offering an 8-week internship in the summer of 2024 for two doctoral students with outstanding psychometric skills who wish to gain experience in large-scale educational assessment. This internship will provide hands-on experience working with operational K-12 assessments, allowing interns to engage in various aspects of assessment development, item analysis, standard setting, and technical reporting. Interns will work closely with a team of Pearson research scientists, gaining applied experience on many of the tasks involved in supporting an operational K-12 assessment contract. This opportunity will enhance their understanding of how to collaborate and communicate effectively about educational measurement. The internship is designed to immerse interns in the practical applications of their academic knowledge, providing a platform to apply their skills in a real-world setting. Interns will be expected to contribute to ongoing projects, participate in team meetings, and collaborate with peers and mentors to achieve project goals. This experience is not only about gaining technical skills but also about understanding the dynamics of working within a team focused on educational assessment and measurement.
