Assignment Description:

Complete this week’s Learning Activity to prepare for your Assignment.

Imagine that you have been hired as an I/O professional to develop an effective job analysis for high school teachers. Write a 3-4 page paper where you will look at the professional competencies of an I/O professional and identify the tasks, duties and KSAOs needed for successful performance as a teacher. The job analysis results will also be used in the future to develop valid job criteria, a performance appraisal system, and selection procedures for hiring new teachers, and to determine how much the job will pay.

Remember your assignment is not to develop a performance appraisal system or develop selection criteria, but to conduct a thorough job analysis that can be used for several functions such as recruitment, performance management, training and development, selection, and job evaluation.

You will need to include the following topic:

• Specify what job analysis method(s) you will use to define the tasks and worker requirements (KSAOs needed) (O*Net).
• Identify an adequate number of Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) needed to obtain reliable judgments in determining the essential job tasks and duties.
• Identify the KSAOs you think are necessary for would be relevant to a high school teacher.
• Provide sound justifications based on I/O principles for your decisions.
• Identify three I/O professional competencies that would be required for the development of the job analysis.
