Facilitate a team who assist with K-12 standards and items reviews for state summative assessments.
I support four educational consultants. I visit with them a few times a week to prepare, plan, implement and assess their ongoing work. We review items for the state summative test, work with teachers in reviewing and updating 10 area of content and performance standards, answer questions from stakeholders (students, parents, teachers, community members,) collect input from the same stakeholders during the standards review process. Much more too!
Here's the first step for professionals
Volunteer your services on some of the education stakeholders groups. They are always listed in the press release. Start getting familiar with legislative policy that relates to education. Attend local and state board meetings. Be an expert in you educational field.
