Long considered separate in higher education, equity intersects with assessment to create a distinct form of assessment. This form of assessment goes by many monikers including culturally responsive assessment, socially just assessment, and equityminded assessment. Often considered the same, these concepts have nuanced differences although they fall within the same umbrella, which we call equitycentered assessment. In this article, we will provide an overview of equity-centered assessment, review the history of scholarship in the literature, outline a conceptual framework for equity-minded and equitycentered assessment, and provide suggested examples of practice that highlight how assessors can position themselves to effectively engage in this critical work.
