We acknowledge that educational assessment has been a historical and current source of systemic discrimination, exclusion and a barrier to social progression for many. We also recognize that, when used appropriately and sensitively, assessment has the power to support equitable access to education and propel learning forward for diverse students. The AEG recognizes that equity is at the heart of educational assessment. Our work strives to promote fairness and equity in assessment, measurement, program evaluation, and knowledge mobilization. We are committed to creating a welcoming, safe and inclusive environment that supports learning, teaching, and research for all. Our commitment to equity and inclusivity is embodied through the following actions:

• Investigate, publish, and disseminate new conceptions of assessment theory and practice that support diverse representations of knowledge and experiences of learning.
• Support students in pursuing personally driven inquiries related to assessment, evaluation, measurement, and knowledge mobilization.
• Ensure that our research reflects and represents experiences of diverse students and teachers.
• Support educational opportunities for students and visiting researchers from diverse backgrounds.
• Ground research and educational inquiries in reimagining assessment and evaluation to empower student learning and agency.
• Engage in international collaborations to broaden perspectives and connect experiences of assessment from diverse backgrounds.
• Maintain diverse representation across faculty and students.
