What steps are taken to ensure that WASL questions do not contain any cultural bias?
Every WASL question goes through extensive analysis by a Bias and Cultural Fairness Committee of specially trained educators before inclusion. Before any question “counts” on the WASL, each question goes through review to ensure there is no cultural bias in the exam. Each question also is given a trial run with students to make sure the question does not pose special difficulty for students from different backgrounds.
