What is assessment and how is it a cultural practice? How does
failure to account for linguistic and cultural variation among
students jeopardize assessment validity? What is required to
achieve cultural validity in assessment? This resource for
practicing and prospective teachers as well as others concerned
with fair and valid assessment provides a thorough grounding in
relevant theory, research, and practice. The book lays out criteria
for culturally valid assessment and recommends specific strategies
that teachers can use to design and implement culturally valid
classroom assessments.
Assessment plays a powerful role in the process of education in
the US and has a disproportionately negative impact on students who
do not come from mainstream, middle-class backgrounds. Given the
significance of testing in education today, cultural validity in
assessment is an urgent issue facing educators. This book is
essential reading for addressing this important, relevant
topic.
