California Alternate Assessments (CAAs)

General Information

The summative California Alternate Assessments (CAAs) for English language arts/literacy (ELA), mathematics, and science are administered to eligible students using the secure browser and test delivery system. The CAAs are for students with the most significant cognitive disabilities and whose individualized education program (IEP) team has designated the use of an alternate assessment on statewide summative assessments.

Eligible students are those whose disability prevents them from taking the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments for ELA and mathematics and the California Science Test.

CAAs for ELA, Mathematics, and Science Test Examiner Tutorials

2021–22 CAA Test Examiner Tutorials

The CAA Test Examiner Tutorial is officially moving from Brainshark to Moodle! The General and CAA for Science sections will be available on September 7, 2021. The ELA and Mathematics section will be available in December 2021. Participants will be able to log on to Moodle and use an assigned enrollment key to access the test examiner tutorials. To receive the CAA test examiner Certificate of Completion, participants must view 100 percent of all videos and answer all Check for Understanding questions correctly. A check mark to the right of each item on the course content page will indicate that the participant has successfully completed that section and can advance to the next section of the tutorial. After successfully completing the General section of the tutorial, participants must complete the CAA for ELA and Mathematics section, CAA for Science section, or both content-area sections to receive a Certificate of Completion.
