About
Third and fourth grade students who meet the eligibility criteria are able to participate in Colorado Spanish Language Arts (CSLA), the accommodated form of the CMAS English Language Arts/Literacy (ELA) assessment. Colorado School Law C.R.S. §22-7-1006.3 (4) (II)(b), requires a Spanish Language Arts assessment for third and fourth grade. CSLA aligns to skills and concepts in the Colorado Academic Standards. These paper-based forms are an accommodation for eligible English learners (Not English Proficient and Limited English Proficient only) and were created using blueprints that mirror the CMAS ELA assessment.
