✍️ Sample CODESP Questions & Answers

1. What does the standard error of measurement (SEM) primarily tell us?

✓ The expected variation in an individual's scores across repeated administrations

SEM estimates how much an individual's observed score is likely to vary if the test were administered multiple times.

2. Which appraisal error occurs when a supervisor's rating of an employee is influenced by comparing that employee to the previous person rated?

✓ Contrast effect

The contrast effect causes ratings to be distorted upward or downward depending on the performance level of the person rated immediately before.

3. Which of the following is NOT a standard component of a job specification?

✓ Organizational chart position

Organizational chart placement is part of the job's structural context, not a job specification; specifications focus on the qualifications and physical requirements needed by the worker.

4. A student becomes physically aggressive. The paraeducator has not received crisis intervention training. The BEST action is to:

✓ Ensure student and peer safety, remove others if possible, and immediately call for trained staff

Untrained staff should not attempt physical restraint; their role is to ensure safety and summon trained personnel.

5. A public agency is designing a structured oral exam for a supervisory position. Which type of question is most appropriate for assessing leadership judgment?

✓ Situational questions presenting realistic supervisory dilemmas

Situational questions directly test how candidates apply supervisory judgment in realistic scenarios drawn from the job.

6. During a lesson, a student gives an incorrect answer. The paraeducator should FIRST:

✓ Provide a corrective prompt or hint to help the student arrive at the correct answer

Error correction with prompting supports learning without simply giving away the answer or ignoring the mistake.
