Montana Alternate Assessment
The Montana Office of Public Instruction works with Measured Progress to provide an alternate assessment program. The Criterion Referenced Test-Alternate (CRT-Alternate) is a performance-based assessment aligned with Montana's Content Standards and Expanded Benchmarks. Approximately 700 students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 are tested each year in reading and mathematics, while students in grades 4, 8, and 10 are also assessed in science.
