The National Center for Fair & Open Testing

The National Center for Fair & Open Testing, also known as FairTest, is an organization dedicated to promoting fair and valid educational assessments. They focus on ensuring standardized tests accurately measure students' knowledge and skills without unfair bias or unnecessary high-stakes pressure, which can harm students and schools. FairTest advocates for meaningful, equitable testing practices and policies that support learning and development rather than simply ranking or punishing students. Their goal is to foster a fairer education system where assessments genuinely reflect student abilities and promote educational growth.
