[Definition] An assessment designed for the small number of students with disabilities who are unable to participate in the regular state assessment, even with appropriate accommodations. An alternate assessment is not one particular format of assessment. Rather, an alternate assessment might include materials collected under several circumstances, including, but not limited to, (a) teacher observation of the student, (b) samples of student work produced during regular classroom instruction that demonstrate mastery of specific instructional strategies in place of performance on a computer-scored multiple choice test covering the same content and skills, or (c) standardized performance tasks produced in an "on demand" setting, such as completion of an assigned task on the test day.
