2. Must have a minimum of three (3) years' experience as a California education professional in one (1) or more of the following capacities:
   • TK-12 administrator in California
   • A member of a CTC-approved preliminary or clear administrative services preparation program

   • Agree not to participate in any professional activity, beyond employment in a TK–12 school/district/county office or institution that requires candidates to use the CalAPA to fulfill the APA requirement, that results in payment for services related to supporting candidates in completing any CA-approved performance assessment. For example, TPA independent tutoring or consulting positions.
5. Reside in the state of California

In order to score candidate submissions, assessors must complete the requisite training and meet the established calibration standards. Assessors will be paid for time spent in training, calibration, and scoring submissions.

CalAPA Assessor Expectations:

• Assessors must meet minimum requirement for home computing hardware, monitor, and bandwidth provided by their internet service provider, in order to be eligible for the program.
• For security reasons, assessors may not use shared office computers or work from institutional computer labs.
• All CalAPA new hires will be required to attend a two-day training session. Sessions are typically offered in February/March of each year but based on scoring requirements, may also be offered in the fall. After training and calibration is complete, assessors must be committed to scoring a minimum of four (4) submissions per week. Scoring is expected to take 1-1.5 hours per submission scored for experienced assessors.
• Scoring will be available seven days per week, except for outages/system maintenance or Pearson corporate holidays.
• Assessors participate in regular activities to ensure calibration to the rubrics.
