California Alternate Assessment Information



Information was just recently released regarding the California Alternate Assessments (CAA). I will continue to learn more about this assessment and will train the site coordinators but wanted to share what is currently available. Here are some key details about the CAA: 
  • We will begin this testing in early May, after CAPA testing is complete.
  • Students in grades 5,8, and 10 will take CAPA in Science (testing in April)
  • CAA is required of Students with Severe Cognitive Disabilities (ie CAPA students) in grades 3-8 and Grade 11 in ELA and in Math
  • Each test requires a 1:1 administration and takes approximately 30 to 60 min
  • Each site has between 6 to 12 students (ie 6 to 24 hours of testing)
  • Teachers will need to complete a video training prior to test administration
