Cynthia Hill
My Ph.D. is in Experimental Psychology, the field of study that examines human behavior through controlled experiments and the development of theories that guide such research. Although my field of study lies particularly in cognition and developmental issues, rather than assessment and testing, I am familiar with the issues of developing exams. The primary issues in assessment are validity and reliability, i.e. do test questions measure what they intend to measure and do they produce a consistent result. My education in these matters qualify me for the position. As the Vice President of the Godly Play Foundation board during the pandemic, I was one of the leaders of a global team, that carried on its business. We worked collaboratively, and we worked in unity and with cohesion in the pursuit of our mission. The development of skills gained from working on a global team to achieve our goals during a difficult time will help equip me to serve on another wide ranging team.
