The packet contains materials for use in a workshop intended to increase educators' sensitivity to possible discriminatory factors in testing instruments and practices. Among the materials are directions for leaders on preparing and running the workshop; 20 booklets entitled "How Can Tests Be Unfair?" for workshop participants; and detailed suggestions for six test activities designed to simulate experiences that might be encountered by children with problems related to visual perception, auditory discrimination (with a tape cassette of unfamiliar sounds provided), five muscle control, language, or cultural differences.
