Ethical assessment practices are essential to ensure that results are valid, and the instructional planning based on those results is appropriate. Early childhood educators must be aware of assessment bias and consciously work to overcome it.

Using the topic Resources and your own research, create a philosophy of ethical assessment practices that you would be able to discuss at a future job interview. When appropriate, reference the "Model Code of Ethics for Educators." Include the following in your philosophy:

• Explain various types of bias and how they affect observation, assessment, data collection, and data analysis.
• Discuss the responsibilities of early childhood special education professionals to collect and document data ethically to reduce bias.
• Identify potential biases you have that may affect the collection and analysis of assessment data, and explain how you will work to overcome them.
• Explain how assessment accommodations for students with exceptionalities support ethical assessment practices.

Support your assignment with 2-3 scholarly resources.
