The San Francisco Public Schools Experience with Alternatives to I.Q. Testing: A Model for Non-Biased Assessment.
Dent, Harold E.
Negro Educational Review, v38 n2-3 p146-62 Apr-Jul 1987
A court order banned the use of standardized I.Q. tests in California because they disproportionately assigned Black and other minority children to special education programs. Nonbiased assessments of cognitive behavior were implemented. They emphasize processes rather than products of learning. The number of minorities in special education has decreased. (VM)
