Knowns, Unknowns and Best Practices in Cognitive Assessment of Diverse Populations Webinar (Recording)

Professional organizations that train practitioners to serve children in schools have expressed a longstanding concern over “equitable” and “nondiscriminatory” cognitive assessment for examinees from diverse racial/ethnic/language groups. Although there is much that has been discovered to support best practices, there are some assessment-related concepts that are poorly understood and ill-defined, as well as alternative assessment and/or test interpretation practices that may be popularly promoted but have considerable deficiencies that undermine ethical behavior/best practices. This session will highlight these issues in detail (as informed by relevant research) and promote future directions that align with ethical best practices.
