ASSIGNMENT
The National Center for Fair & Open Testing (FairTest) is committed to ending the bias and other flaws seen in standardized testing. Their mission is to ensure that students, teachers, and schools are evaluated fairly. You can learn more about their mission, as well as the latest in the news on test bias and fairness, at their website: http://openstax.org/l/fair_test
The standardized ACT is now offering three new options for students to provide more choices and faster results. The idea is that the new options improve students’ test-taking experience and increase chances for college admissions. You can find more information on their website: http://leadershipblog.act.org/2019/10/act-test-to-provide-new-options.html
In a 350 word essay, discuss whether you think that a bias does exist in standardized testing. Do you believe that the new options being offered by ACT will affect the rate of being evaluated fairly? Explain your answers.
