Dynamic Learning Maps (DLM)

It's easy to get lost when exploring Dynamic Learning Maps (DLMs). The official DLM website is attractive, innovative, and rather vague. The site includes information explaining the assessment and answering frequently asked questions. DLM will be beta tested with students who have significant cognitive disabilities (a relatively small population), and, if successful, extended to other groups. DLM is currently being developed and tested in 14 states including Utah. The following PDF versions of powerpoints are helpful in navigating this topic, but require extensive time to peruse: History of the Common Core Essential Elements & The Dynamic Learning Maps Consortiuum and Dynamic Learning Maps Alternate Assessment Consortium Overview. The Alternate Assessment Consortia: Dynamic Learning Maps (DLM) provides similar content but in article form.
