If a student is placed in a regular education classroom, does that mean they must take the standard form of the CMT or CAPT test?
Students have two options with respect to the Connecticut Mastery Test (CMT) or Connecticut Academic Performance Test (CAPT). The PPT may choose the alternate assessment (Skills Checklist) or the regular test. The United States Department of Education anticipates that only those students with the most significant cognitive disabilities will be assessed using the alternate assessment. There is a list of approved accommodations that the team can consider for students taking the regular test. This decision should be based on the student’s individual needs and abilities, and the guidelines provided by the CSDE.
