• Georgia Alternative Assessment - Grades 3-5

     

    The Georgia Alternate Assessment (GAA) is a key component of Georgia's student assessment program. An essential tenet of both the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), is the fact that states must ensure that all students, including students with significant cognitive disabilities, have access to a general curriculum that encompasses challenging academic standards. States must also ensure that all students are assessed for their progress toward meeting academic standards.

    The Georgia Alternative Assessment (GAA) is typically administered from March through April of most traditional school years.
