JoinSounds Like Success: A Framework for Equitable Assessment
Teachers have many dilemmas when it comes to assessing a classroom of diverse students. Teachers need to find out what students really know while being fair to all students. They also need to learn how to alter assessments without watering down content. These challenges can be addressed by following five principles for equitable assessment. In this article, the authors describe the “McCes, Sounds Like Success” equity framework. They provide practical examples along with commentary from secondary preservice teachers who participated in a course through which they learned about and applied the framework.
