Equity in Assessment

Equity in assessment refers to ensuring that evaluations are fair and just for all individuals, regardless of their background or circumstances. This means recognizing diverse abilities, learning styles, and life experiences when assessing knowledge. By providing equitable assessment opportunities, such as varied question formats or additional support, we aim to give everyone a level playing field. The goal is to measure true understanding and skills, rather than being biased by factors unrelated to knowledge, thus promoting inclusivity and fairness in educational and professional settings.
