ABSTRACT
“Toward a Theory of Socioculturally Responsive Assessment” assembled design principles from multiple literatures and wove them into a working definition and a network of empirically testable propositions. The intention was to offer a coherent theoretical framework within which to understand why and how particular assessment designs might work, what actions testing programs should consider, how they might move forward with those actions, and how to evaluate the impact. Dr. Solano Flores offers many comments on these ideas, with which I mostly agree. In this response, I detail those agreements, as well as some points of departure. I close with some implications for revising the Standards.
