Workplace Psychology CODE OF FAIR TESTING PRACTICES IN EDUCATION Prepared by the Joint Committee on Testing Practices The Code of Fair Testing Practices in Education ( Code ) is a guide for professionals in fulfilling their obligation to provide and use tests that are fair to all test takers regardless of age, gender, disability, race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, linguistic background, or other personal characteristics. Fairness is a primary consideration in all aspects of testing. Careful standardization of tests and administration conditions helps to ensure that all test takers are given a comparable opportunity to demonstrate what they know and how they can perform in the area being tested. Fairness implies that every test taker has the opportunity to prepare for the test and is informed about the general nature and content of the test, as appropriate to the purpose of the test. Fairness also extends to the accurate reporting of individual and group test results. Fairness is not an isolated concept, but must be considered in all aspects of the testing process. The Code applies broadly to testing in education (admissions, educational assessment, educational diagnosis, and student placement) regardless of the mode of presentation, so it is relevant to conventional paper-and-pencil tests, computer based tests, and performance tests. It is not designed to cover employment testing, licensure or certification testing, or other types of testing outside the field of education. The

In addition, effective accountability must involve stakeholders outside of the school building, fostering the development of a rich reciprocal relationship between schools and their publics."

It is not necessary to give a reason. Tell the principal that you will either pick up your child from school during the testing times, or that you'll keep your child usuefully occupied in the library. B A C K G R O U N D C O L O R

Tests must also objectively measure academic achievement, knowledge, and skills without evaluating or assessing family beliefs and attitudes. must produce and provide individual reports of student performance to parents, teachers, and principals in a comprehensible and uniform format. States must also make assessment results to schools no later than the beginning of the following school year, beginning with 2002-03. must all participate in the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), otherwise known as the "nation's report card."

Until now, state participation in NAEP has been voluntary. ED is expected to use NAEP to confirm state test results in reading and math.

    Extractions: Information Literacy Blog State Proficiency Testing in Mathematics. ERIC Digest. by Kilpatrick, Jeremy In recent years many states have developed their own assessments of student learning in mathematics, usually aligned with state standards or curriculum frameworks. Many of these assessments are intended to have high stakes: financial or other consequences for districts, schools, teachers, or individual students. In some cases, teacher promotions or high school diplomas may depend on students achieving passing scores. As of 1998, 48 states and the District of Columbia had instituted testing programs, typically at grades 4, 8, and 11 (Council of Chief State School Officers, 1998). Currently, 19 states require students to pass a mandated assessment in order to graduate from high school, and several other states are phasing in such a requirement (Gehring, 2000). In response to calls for an end to social promotion, some states and districts have begun requiring grade-level mastery tests for promotion, typically in grades 4 and 8. Interestingly, there is some evidence suggesting an inverse relationship between statewide testing policies and student achievement in mathematics: "Among the 12 highest-scoring states in 8th grade mathematics in 1996, ... none had mandatory statewide testing programs in place during the 1980s or early 1990s. Only two of the top 12 states in the 4th grade mathematics had statewide programs prior to 1995. By contrast, among the 12 lowest-scoring states, ... 10 had extensive student testing programs in place prior to 1990, some of which were associated with highly specified state curricula and an extensive menu of rewards and sanctions" (Darling-Hammond, 1999, p. 33).
