National Center for Fair & Open Testing (FairTest)

The National Center for Fair & Open Testing (FairTest) advocates for fair and meaningful assessments in education. They focus on promoting testing methods that accurately measure students' knowledge and skills without unfairly disadvantaging any group. FairTest encourages reducing overemphasis on high-stakes standardized tests, advocating for practices that support equitable evaluation, reliable student assessment, and improved educational quality. Their goal is to ensure testing enhances learning rather than undermines it, fostering a more just educational system that recognizes diverse talents and backgrounds.
