Kansas Alternate Assessment

 

The Kansas Alternate Assessment is intended for a small number of students who are unable to take general Kansas state assessments due to the complexity and severity of their disabilities. Instead, these students and their respective IEP teams have determined that they will participate in the alternate assessment, which is a data folio compiled and submitted in the same content areas and grades as students who take general assessments.

If there is a problem with a link on this page, please notify Evelyn Alden (785) 296-3868.

For additional information and assistance on the Kansas Alternate Assessments (KAA) or Kansas Assessment of Modified Measures (KAMM), please contact:
