This book addresses a problem that affects the work of all
educators: how traditional methods of assessment undermine the
capacity of schools to serve students with diverse cultural and
social backgrounds and identities. Anchored in a common-sense
notion of validity, this book explains how current K-12 assessment
practices are grounded in the language, experiences, and values of
the dominant White culture. It presents a timely review of research
on bias in classroom and large-scale assessments, as well as
research on how students' level of engagement influences their
performances. The author recommends practices that can improve the
validity of students' assessment performances by minimizing sources
of bias, using culturally responsive assessment tools, and adopting
strategies likely to increase students' engagement with assessment
tasks. This practical resource provides subject-specific approaches
for improving the cultural and social relevance of assessment tools
and offers guidance for evaluating existing assessment instruments
for bias, language complexity, and accessibility issues. Book
Features: Research-based recommendations for improving assessment
fairness, validity, and cultural/social relevance. Practices that
have been shown to improve the effectiveness of classroom
assessments in supporting student learning. Concrete examples of
how to create culturally relevant assessment tasks that target
valued learning goals in language arts, mathematics, social
studies, and science classrooms. Appendixes that provide tools
educators can use to improve grading practices.
