Do This First 
 
Writing great test questions and easy-to-use curricula is important to Civil Air Patrol's professional development programs. To be successful, all participants in the CAP Leadership Project will need to demonstrate through their written submissions the following knowledge, skills and attitudes: 
 
 
ISD
   Instructional Systems Development (ISD) "is a deliberate and orderly, but flexible process for planning, developing, implementing, and managing instructional systems" (Source: AFMAN 36-2234).
 
   CAP Leadership Project participants not familiar with the Air Force's ISD model need to take the ISD Introductory Lesson.

Bloom's Taxonomy
   Benjamin Bloom and a team of colleges identified three major learning domains: Cognitive (mental), Affective (emotional), and Psychomotor (physical).
 
   For the CAP Leadership Project, we will focus on the knowledge and comprehension levels of the cognitive domain. Project participants not familiar with Bloom's Taxonomy should search the web for more information. 
 

 
Test Design
   Writing effective tests for CAP is a challenge. CAP mainly employs written, predictive, tests that are criterion based.
 
   CAP Leadership Project participants not familiar with writing good test questions should search the web and/or ask a teacher.
 

 
NDA 
   CAP Leadership Project participants will be writing material that will ultimately be used by Testing Officers and other CAP leaders in the field. We certainly don't want various draft products or possible testing questions out in the field before these products have been validated.
 
   Therefore, to facilitate the integrity of the process, project participants agree by their submission of work products to hold any proprietary information related to the CAP Leadership Project in strict confidence, to take all reasonable precaution to protect such proprietary information, and not to disclose any such proprietary information or any information derived therefrom to any third person.
 
 
 
Professionalism
   The CAP Leadership Project expects all submissions to be original work developed by the participants. Plagiarism will not be tolerated. All sources must be cited.
