California Modified Assessment (CMA)General InformationBackgroundThe CMA is a grade-level assessment for students who have an individualized education program (IEP); are receiving grade-level instruction; and whose progress to date, in response to appropriate grade-level instruction, including special education and related services designed to address the student's individual needs, is such that, even if significant growth occurs, the IEP team is reasonably certain that the student will not achieve grade-level proficiency within the year covered by the student's IEP plan. The purposes of the CMA tests are to allow students with disabilities greater access to an assessment that helps measure how well they are achieving California's content standards and to provide information about how well schools and school districts are meeting state and federal accountability requirements in English–language arts (ELA), mathematics, and science. Eligible students in grade seven also complete a writing assessment—the CMA for Writing—as a part of the CMA for ELA.
