The Dynamic Learning Maps Essential Elements (EEs) standards are specific statements of knowledge and skills linked to the grade-level expectations identified in the college and career readiness standards. The purpose of the EEs is to build a bridge from those content standards to academic expectations for students with significant cognitive disabilities. Essential Elements for grades 3-11 in English Language Arts and Mathematics are located on the DLM website. The DLM English Language Arts/Math Assessments will be the Alternate Assessment for both the 10 th Grade PSAT and the 11 th Grade SAT. Each content area/grade level assessment is designed to assess a specific set of Essential Elements Standards identified by the DLM states. Blueprints are located at 2

3 OVERVIEW DLM Standards Alignment Essential Elements vs. Extended Evidence Outcomes CDE aligned the Colorado Extended Evidence Outcomes to the Dynamic Learning Maps Essential Elements for both Mathematics and English Language Arts CDE s Blueprint Standards Alignment OVERVIEW DLM TEST ADMINISTRATION DLM is untimed and individually administered. The testlets are administered by the test administrator directly to the student. DLM has No restrictions for completing the assessment within a given day. DLM may be stopped and restarted at any time; however once an item is presented, it must be completed before stopping and cannot be revisited. DLM Testlets (Test Items) are delivered to the student based on the student s First Contact Survey information. DLM Testlets are delivered to the student with approximately a 15 minute break in between test items. Once the student completes the testlet, the DLM system delivers the next testlet based on the student s response from the previous testlet. OVERVIEW FIRST CONTACT SURVEY The First Contact Survey is the first step in determining the initial placement of students in the DLM assessment. The First Contact Survey is a survey of learner characteristics that goes beyond basic demographics. This survey covers a variety of areas, including communication, academic skills and attention. All questions must be completed because the system assigns each student to a specific testlet based on these responses. When completing the First Contact Survey, educators will need to provide information on: Special Education Services, Sensory Capabilities, Motor Capabilities, Computer Access, Communication Abilities, Academic Skills and Attention. For returning students, Educator Portal presents previous First Contact responses from the student record. TA s are required to review each student s First Contact Survey and resubmit to begin test administration. 3

Practice activities and Released Items are also available to students through KITE. KITE CLIENT MUST BE UPGRADED/INSTALLED EACH YEAR. Educators KITE Educator Portal Educator Portal is the administrative application where staff and educators manage student data. CoAlt:DLM Alternate Assessment Ethics And Test Environment Ethics CDE Requirement All CoAlt Test Administrators must be trained annually It is a breach of professional ethics for school personnel to provide verbal or nonverbal clues or answers, teach items on the test, coach, hint or in any way influence a student s performance during the test administration. A breach of ethics may results in invalidation of test results and school, district or CDE disciplinary action.. 4
