Decolonizing Educational Assessment Models. .This book examines the history of standardized testing in Ontario leading to the current context and its impact on racialized identities, particularly on Grade 3 students, parents, and educators. Using a theoretical argument supplemented with statistical trends, the author illuminates how EQAO tests are culturally and racially biased and promote a Eurocentric curriculum and way of life privileging white students and those from higher socio-economic status. This book spurs readers to further question the use of EQAO standardized testing and challenges us to consider alternative models which serve the needs of all students. .AssessmentChild developmentSocial justiceHuman rightsEducational sociologyAssessment, Testing and Evaluationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O33000Early Childhood Educationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O37000Social Justice, Equality and Human Rightshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X33070Ethnicity in Educationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O49000Assessment.Child development.Social justice.Human rights.Educational sociology.Assessment, Testing and Evaluation.Early Childhood Education.Social Justice, Equality and Human Rights.Ethnicity in Education.371.2609713372.126209713Eizadirad Ardavanauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1064517BOOK9910349337503321Decolonizing Educational Assessment2538703UNINA
