Content, Bias & Sensitivity Review—Round 1

State Content Item Review Committee

During the state content reviews, the committees will review and edit test items for adherence to foundational documents, basic universal design principles, accessibility guidelines, and state-specific style guides.

State Bias and Sensitivity Item Committee (In-Person & Virtual)

Educators and community members will be asked to review items and tasks to confirm the absence of bias or sensitivity issues that would interfere with a student’s ability to accomplish his or her best performance. The objective is to provide items and tasks that do not unfairly advantage or disadvantage one student or group over another. Once items are approved by the state content Item Review Team, they will be prepared for external bias and sensitivity review.
