Introduction to the Special Issue: Fairness in Educational Assessment and the Next Edition of the Standards

This introduction provides context for Educational Assessment's special issue, "Fairness in Educational Assessment and the Next Edition of the Standards." The article introduces the topic of fairness by citing a prior Special Issue on which the current issue is built, summarizes the current Fairness Standards of the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing (2014) and provides an overview to the issue. The issue includes focal articles by Dr. Jennifer Randall and Dr. Randy Bennett and a synthesis discussion by Dr. Guillermo Solano-Flores. The two focal authors then respond to Dr. Solano-Flores and the special issue editors end the issue with a concluding commentary.
