Includes bibliographical references and index.
Assessing culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) students requires approaches that recognize linguistic differences,
cultural backgrounds, and varied learning styles. Traditional assessments often fail to capture these students’ true abilities,
leading to bias and inequity. This study explores strategies such as culturally responsive assessment, alternative performance-based measures,
and language-sensitive tools. It highlights the importance of fairness, inclusivity, and teacher training to ensure accurate evaluation
of knowledge and skills. Ultimately, the goal is to promote equitable learning opportunities for all students.
