CAAELP Resources
In the 2023-2024 school year, Connecticut’s K-12 students identified in the Public School Information System (PSIS) as English learners/ Multilingual learners and who have an Individualized Education Program (IEP) documenting a significant cognitive disability may be considered for the Connecticut Alternate Assessment of English Language Proficiency (CAAELP)Assessment.
CAAELP may also be referenced as Alt ELPA in some resources and educator training. For Connecticut’s testing purposes these are synonymous. If a Connecticut specific resource is available please consider it first because it includes Connecticut’s policies and guidance.
The CAAELP Testing Window is February 1-March 29, 2024
