What steps are taken to ensure that our state testing questions do not contain cultural bias?
Every state testing question goes through extensive analysis by a Bias and Cultural Fairness Committee of specially trained educators and community members before inclusion. Before any question is placed on a state test, each question goes through review to ensure there is no cultural bias in the exam. Each question also is given a trial run, or is piloted, with students to determine whether the question poses special difficulty for students from different backgrounds.
