MCAS alternate assessment. A procedure for selecting and assembling ‘evidence’ that documents the achievements of students with significant disabilities who are unable to take standard paper-and-pencil state and district assessments. Alternate assessments must be based on state learning standards, and are considered “part of” not “apart from” the MCAS accountability system.
