Parents, educators, and the community have viewed assessments as biased. In fact, the article from this week’s reading, “Uncovering Implicit Bias in Assessment, Feedback, and Grading,” indicated that current assessment practices in the educational system could bring about inequality among different populations. According to the article, when implicit bias is evident, it could unfairly influence local and national policies that could result in a racial achievement gap.

As you review this week’s readings about bias pertaining to assessments, respond to the following:

• Reflect on your own biases and determine how you as an educator could select and create tests that are fair and inclusive of your student population.  
  • Is it even possible to make assessments inclusive? 
• What would be your recommendations to educators, administrators, policymakers, etc. in reducing implicit biases in the current and future assessments?
