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."

4. Code Of Fair Testing Practices In Education The code states the major obligations to professionals who develop or use educational tests. The code is meant to apply broadly to the use of tests in education (admissions, educational assessment, educational diagnosis, and student placement). http://www.apa.org/science/fairtestcode.html

Science Home About Us Contact Us Advanced Training Institutes ... 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

FairTest Examiner Testing Our Children : Findings and Recommendations Summer 1997 FairTest based its evaluation of state assessment programs on the Principles and Indicators for Student Assessment Systems . The Principles were developed by the National Forum on Assessment to help guide assessment reform and have been signed by over 80 education and civil rights groups. The major findings of Testing Our Children: A Report Card on State Assessment Systems include: 1) While most states now have content standards, many state tests are not based on their standards, and many important areas in their standards are not assessed. 2) Most states rely far too heavily on multiple-choice testing and fail to provide an adequate range of methods for students to demonstrate their learning. The results include not assessing important areas, creating the likelihood that those areas will not be taught. (Twenty-six states use all or almost all multiple-choice, and 18 use a majority of multiple-choice items.) 3) A majority of states (33) use norm-referenced tests, which compare students to a reference group and not to achievement on state standards. These tests fail to assess important areas of the standards and encourage grouping and instructional practices that historically have failed to provide many students with a strong education. 4) Most writing assessments require students to respond to a prompt (34 states), fostering and reporting a limited conception of writing. Writing must serve many purposes and therefore take many styles. A major problem here is the potential reduction of writing instruction to fit the state exam.

Two important features of the developmental work underlying these batteries are the "consensus translation" approach (1992) and the "equated U.S. norms" procedure applied to the problem of interpreting results from non-English-language tests used in the United States. A critical goal for a test translation is the exact communication of intent, involving subtle language nuances, of directions or time content. Toward this end, a strategy of "consensus translation" was adopted. In the case of Spanish-language tests, the initial translation of items and directions involves several Spanish-speaking professionals in generating items and conducting the translation of test instructions. In adhering to a consensus translation approach, the output from each translator is reviewed by at least two other translators. The "corrections" suggested by these reviewers are not automatically accepted, but are passed back and forth among reviewers and the original translator until a consensus is reached. Other translators are consulted, if necessary, until a consensus is achieved.

With the help of the GI Bill and a scholarship, I earned the Ph.D. from the University of Michigan.

It was when I became director of the University of Minnesota Educational Research Bureau that I had a real opportunity to develop a creativity test.
