NOW, Teachers need to pick their Essential Elements (EEs, which are links to the standards) for their students using the: DLM English Language Arts Integrated

Assessment Model 2014-15 Blueprint DLM Mathematics Integrated Assessment

Model 2014-15 Blueprint After picking the EEs then teachers can

organize their classroom and begin instruction

Teachers will enter the chosen EEs into DLM Educator Portal starting November 10

Successor Node:Can answer wh questions about details in a

narrative

Target Node:Can answer who and what questions about

details in a narrativeProximal Precursor:

Can identify concrete details in a familiar story (characters, objects) (supporting node)

Can answer who and what questions about details in a familiar narrative

NOWThere is required training for test administrators -

The Individual Test Administrative Training is in the Educator Portal

The Facilitated Test Administrative Training is located at http://dynamiclearningmaps.org/kansas

Who may be a Test Administrator? A person that completes the Required Test

Administrative training.

A paraprofessional can be a Test Administrator as long as they have completed the training.

The Required Test Administrative training is available now on Dynamic Learning Maps in the Educator Portal


DLM Integrated Model


DLM Integrated ModelDLM Integrated Model

When thinking of DLM we have to think of it as a formative process, the assessment is a year long process that will involve:InstructionThen going into the Instructional Tool Interface weekly to complete testlets, then continue instruction and completing testlets.

• 2014-2015 testlets will only be two deep so please limit use of testlets per EE 2x - So you can only test one EE – 2 times in DLM

• Some EEs may not have any testlets • Some EEs will have testlets that have FT on the testlet and

that means it is a field test item and can be used



2014-2015 Beginning On November 10, 2014 teachers will be

able to go into DLM and have access to the testlets to assess their students as instruction is occurring

This year the integrated use of testlets in the Instructional Tools Interface will not be used in the students State Assessment Score – this is a year that teachers can explore and get used to using the Instructional Tools Interface weekly or often with their students

Only the final End of Year assessment will be used for the Students State Assessment score in 2014-2015


DLM Integrated ModelDLM Integrated Model2015-2016As teachers go through that process they are creating many data points for each student across the school yearThese many data points, plus a small End of Year Assessment over the EEs that were chosen for that student will be the students State Assessment Score for the year starting in 2015-2016 This type of assessment will also show the

growth of the student across the year



End of year testing date is –End of year testing date is –

March 9 – May 15March 9 – May 15The End of Year Test The End of Year Test will be a re-assessment of 5 EEs for ELA and 5 EEs in Math. The assessment will randomly select 5 EEs out of the total number of EEs chosen for the student and will use those 5 EEs to assess the student on in the small End of Year Assessment.

Field Tests


DLM Field Tests

There will be 3 Field Tests and Kansas teachers can volunteer their participation of students

DLM still has 6,000 items they need to field test this year so participation will be appreciated

When teachers go into the Instructional Tool Interface and use testlets they might see “FT” on some testlets and those are Field Test testlets
