Dynamic Learning Maps™ (DLM) alternative assessments offer students with significant cognitive disabilities a way to show what they know and can do in a manner which differs from the traditional multiple choice tests. Assessments are based on a learning map—a map that shows different paths a student might take to learn new academic skills.

Targets are based on Essential Elements (EEs) for English Language Arts and Mathematics. EEs are specific statements of knowledge and skills linked to the grade-level expectations identified in college and career readiness standards. EEs build a bridge from content standards to academic expectations for students with the most significant cognitive disabilities.

Results of the assessments help teachers to plan individualized experiences for each student by creating lessons and actvities that are appropriate for a student’s needs and abilities.
