 \nThe California Alternate Assessments (CAAs) for English language arts/literacy (ELA) and mathematics are part of California’s system of assessments called the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) . Designed for students with the most significant cognitive disabilities, the CAAs for ELA and mathematics are an annual measure of what students know and can do using alternate achievement standards. Known as the Core Content Connectors, these standards are aligned with the Common Core State Standards for ELA and mathematics.  \nWHY ARE THECAAs GIVEN?  \nThe purpose of the CAAs for ELA and mathematics is to provide an annual measure of what students know and can do using the alternate achievement standards.  \nWHO TAKES THE CAAs?  \nStudents are eligible to take the CAA only if it is indicated in their active individualized education program (IEP) .  \nThe CAAs for ELA and mathematics will be administered to all eligible students in grades three through eight and grade eleven.  \nHOW ARE THECAAs GIVEN?  \nThe CAAs are administered one-on-one by a trained test examiner whois familiar with the student and his or her needs.  \nThe CAAs are computer-based and are stage-adaptive, adjusting the level of difficulty to the student’s performance at selected stages within the test. Student results are reported as one of three performance levels.  \nWHEN ARE THECAAs GIVEN?  \nThe CAAs for ELA and mathematics will be administered during the school’s selected testing window. Most schools will test between the middle of March and the middle of May.  \nFor additional information visit the California Department of Education CAA web page at [https://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/ca/altassessment.asp](https://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/ca/altassessment.asp).  \nOctober 2019","cbCairMx1g4nB8GG","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairMx1g4nB8GG","pdf",351997,"English","# What are the Alternate Assessments?\n# Why are the CAAs given?\n# Who takes the CAAs?\n# How are the CAAs given?\n# When are the CAAs given?","[{\"question\":\"Who is eligible to take the California Alternate Assessments (CAAs)?\",\"answer\":\"Students are eligible to take the CAAs only if this participation is explicitly indicated in their active Individualized Education Program (IEP).\"},{\"question\":\"How are the CAAs administered to students?\",\"answer\":\"The assessments are administered one-on-one by a trained test examiner who is familiar with the student's needs, using a computer-based and stage-adaptive format.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the CAAs for ELA and mathematics?\",\"answer\":\"The purpose is to provide an annual measure of what students with significant cognitive disabilities know and can do, using alternate achievement standards aligned with the Common Core State Standards.\"}]","California Alternate Assessments - Fact Sheet for ELA and Mathematics | PDF",1790990768]
