Over the past month, Task Force members have reviewed the draft survey and made nominations for pilot participants who will provide further review. The Task Force meeting to review possible revisions to the Role Study Survey will take place on March 3 and 4. Once this is completed, the survey will be sent to a pilot group to conduct further review. The survey is then to be sent to a broader selected sample on March 26. Staff is currently meeting all timelines for this phase of the test development process. An analysis of the survey data will take place June 4 and 5 in a face to face Task Force meeting.
