Virtual training for the Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS) spring 2026 assessment administration took place in November. Participation in a live group training or a one-on-one session with CDE staff satisfied the annual CMAS training requirement for District Assessment Coordinators (DACs) prior to the spring administration.
