Attention to fairness, validity, and accessibility in assessments has reached a new level of importance as testing expands to include more diverse populations, more complex purposes, and more sophisticated technologies. This book addresses the need to consider fairness as it relates to current changes in education and the way in which assessments are sometimes leading and sometimes responding to these changes.

Neil J. Dorans is in the Center for Statistical and Psychometric Theory and Practice in the Research & Development division at Educational Testing Service, where he has worked since 1979. Recipient of the NCME Career Award in 2010, he has been concerned with fairness for test takers for decades, developing procedures for the quantitative assessment of fairness at both the item and score levels. Linda L. Cook, President of the NCME in 2011-2012, was employed at Educational Testing Service in Princeton, NJ from 1978 until she retired in 2010. While at ETS, she served as Vice President of the Assessment Division and Executive Director of the SAT testing program. Improving the fairness of inferences made from assessments remains a major professional focus for her, particularly in the area of accessibility.
