 \nThe California Alternate Assessment (CAA) for Science is part of California’s system of assessments called the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) .  \nThe CAA for Science is designed for students with the most significant cognitive disabilities and measures what students know and can do in science. This assessment is aligned with alternate science standards, called the Science Core Content Connectors, which are drawn from the California Next Generation Science Standards.  \nWHY IS THE CAA GIVEN?  \nThe purpose of the CAA for Science is to measure what students know and can do using alternate achievement standards.  \nWHO TAKES THE CAA?  \nStudents are eligible to take the CAA for Science only if it is indicated in their active individualized education program.  \nEligible students take the CAA for Science in grades 5 and 8 and one time in high school (i.e. , grade 10, 11, or 12) . The California Department of Education (CDE) recommends testing high school students when they are enrolled in their last science course. High schools have the option to test any or all students in grades 10 or 11, as long as all students have been tested by grade 12.  \nHOW IS THE CAA GIVEN?  \nThe CAA for Science is a computer-based assessment and is administered one-on-one by a trained test examiner who is familiar with the student and their needs.  \nThe test consists of four embedded performance tasks. Each embedded performance task consists of a collection of activities and questions, which are to be administered after related science concepts are taught to the students. Teachers determine the best time to administer the performance tasks throughout the school year.  \nThe CAA for Science is available for administration from  \nWHEN IS THE CAA GIVEN?  \nSeptember through the last day of instruction.  \nFor additional information, visit the CDE CAA for Science web page at [https://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/ca/caascience.asp](https://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/ca/caascience.asp).  \nJuly 2021","cbCaivj82mE8CaxD","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivj82mE8CaxD","pdf",99475,"English","# WHAT IS THE ALTERNATE ASSESSMENT?\n# WHY IS THE CAA GIVEN?\n# WHO TAKES THE CAA?\n# HOW IS THE CAA GIVEN?\n# WHEN IS THE CAA GIVEN?","[{\"question\":\"What is the California Alternate Assessment (CAA) for Science used for?\",\"answer\":\"It measures what students with the most significant cognitive disabilities know and can do in science using alternate achievement standards.\"},{\"question\":\"Who is eligible to take the CAA for Science?\",\"answer\":\"Students are eligible only when it is indicated in their active individualized education program.\"},{\"question\":\"How is the CAA for Science administered?\",\"answer\":\"It is a computer-based assessment administered one-on-one by a trained test examiner, and includes four embedded performance tasks scheduled after related concepts are taught.\"}]","ASSESSMENT FACT SHEET - CALIFORNIA ALTERNATE ASSESSMENT for Science | PDF",1790993362]
