CNAR’s Spring Workshop 2: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Across the Assessment Lifecycle: Key Considerations and Plan of Action

Updated: Apr 4

Presented by:

Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) initiatives are designed to reduce bias and create equal opportunities in workplaces, government entities, and credentialing/regulatory assessment programs. There are many areas where DE&I can play a critical role in the fairness of exams and considerations for DE&I initiatives are not limited to a single timepoint during the assessment life cycle. For instance, bias in exam content could originate from many sources, such as use of content irrelevant language, cultural nuances, and regional differences. Two key challenges for regulatory bodies related to addressing DE&I considerations are identifying and engaging key stakeholders across all exam development activities, from practice analysis to review of items and exam performance statistics. This virtual workshop is designed to help regulatory organizations with reviewing and assessing their approach to DE&I activities. We will walk through elements of the assessment life cycle to uncover opportunities to create greater equity in exam creation.
