Colorado is currently transitioning its major state student assessments. After using the Colorado Student Assessment Program (CSAP) assessment for English language arts and mathematics assessments for a number of years, Colorado implemented the Transitional Colorado Assessment Program (TCAP) assessment starting in the 2012 school year.
