KEYNOTE PRESENTATIONS
We are excited to announce this year’s keynotes for the 2022 Innovations in Testing Conference!
Opening Keynote: Take the “BS” Out of Bias and Sensitivity
Current bias and sensitivity guidelines for assessments often perpetuate white supremacist and racist logics. Did I read that correctly? Yes, you did. Two educational measurement and evaluation experts will demonstrate how we, as an industry, need to move towards guidelines that can be more inclusive. The goal is to increase fairness in ways that have not yet been addressed, like how we can be explicitly antiracist and begin to undo all the nonsense. That’s right. This session is going to make you think, look at the world a bit differently and, in the end, be inspired to enact the changes needed to create assessments that support culturally responsive-sustaining education. This session isn’t all doom and gloom: humor will be used to expose some of our blind spots around equity and bias. The takeaway though, is serious: it’s time for change. We have a moral imperative to do better.
