What role does training for evaluators play?

Training helps evaluators recognize their own biases and equips them with strategies to minimize their impact during assessments.

Are there any tools or resources to help with this?

Yes, there are various tools like bias detection software and resources from educational organizations that provide guidelines on creating fair assessments.

How can I implement these strategies in my organization?

Start by conducting a bias audit of your current assessments, then gradually introduce standardized rubrics and training sessions for your evaluators.
