DLM in ELA and Math Basic Info
The Dynamic Learning Maps (DLM) is a computer-based
assessment based on the NJSLS and based on DLM
Essential Elements (EEs).
◦ www.dynamiclearningmaps.org/newjersey
Grade specific test specifications are available in English
language arts (ELA) and math.
NJ uses the Year End (YE) DLM spring assessment.
Students in grades 3 - 8 and grade 11 participate.
Test administration occurs between April 3 to May 19, 2017
•NJ Teacher Training October 2016 •5
DLM Computer Based Testing• The assessment is a computer adaptive assessment.
The process is:
• A student first takes a small set of items, called a testlet, then the system takes into account the level of difficulty of the test items and the students performance (correct or incorrect answers).
• Based on the student’s performance another testlet is selected, which contain items that are around the same level, somewhat easier, or somewhat harder than the last testlet (same, lower, or higher level skills are selected).
• This is an iterative process until the testlets address all Essential Elements in the YE test blueprint
• Teacher does not design the assessment activities/test items.
•NJ Teacher Training October 2016 •6
DLM Computer Based Testing
• Some students will be assessed outside the DLM system via
Teacher Administered tests and will not view the computer
screen as the teachers will administer the questions based
on his/her view of the testlets on the computer.
• When this occurs a teacher will be asked to gather objects to use
during the test.
• A student may sometimes have a teacher administered testlet, then
sometimes not, based on the adaptive nature of the test and
modifications to the level of testlet assigned to the student.
• Please note that this will fluctuate depending on the levels of the
students and input based on their first contact survey.
• Information on teacher administered testlets is found in the
DLM Test Administrator’s Manual.
•NJ Teacher Training October 2016 •7

are related to many other skills.
Teachers and school program staff must review the
Essential Elements (EEs) and Learning Map provided
on the DLM website and implement individualized
instruction related to the EEs.
◦ The Essential Elements are skill statements written to reflect the
CCSS/NJSLS at an appropriate linkage level for students with
significant cognitive disabilities
◦ Review of the DLM skill statements in light of the test blueprint will
guide the selection of appropriate skills for each student within the
specific conceptual areas assessed.

ACCESSIBILITY FEATURES
IN EDUCATOR PORTAL
•NJ Teacher Training October 2016 •53
Accessing and Using Educator Portal
After the District Data Manager completes the student enrollment file updates and the ELA & math rosters, you will need to do the following in Educator Portal◦ Review the student rosters associated with you and
verify that all your students who are taking the DLM are on your ELA and math rosters.
Also check spelling of students’ first and last name.
Then you, the primary teacher with the roster, ◦ completes the students’ First Contact survey, AND
◦ assists/selects the accessibility features and necessary supports to be delivered during DLM testing by completing the AP survey for each student.
See NJ DLM site for the Test Administrator Manual, the Accessibility Manual, and other pertinent information.
•NJ Teacher Training October 2016 •54
Accessing and Using Educator Portal All passwords for Educator portal need to be updated through the
link emailed from KITE in July.
◦ If link is expired, click on Forgot Password and then follow directions
from new Email
◦ Please write down and save password in a secure location and not
shared.
The online DLM Security Agreement needs to be completed in
Educator Portal; you must physically click on “I agree” and then click
save.
◦ If agreement does not automatically pop-up, then go to “My Profile” on
the right hand side of the screen and then update Security Agreement.
Once enrollment has been completed, your Data Manager will let
you know when you can verify your student rosters.
•NJ Teacher Training October 2016 •55
All teachers need to complete the AP and First Contact surveys for
each student once rosters become available.
◦ New Teachers will need to receive an email from the Data Manager and DLM with their
username and password, then activate the login account, in order to complete required
work.
Description of the surveys:
◦ First Contact Survey (FC):
A survey used to collect background information about students who are eligible for
DLM alternate assessments. The survey asks questions about the student’s level of
skills in ELA and Math and assists in the selection of the level of test items (node
linkage levels)
◦ Access Profile (AP):
The Access profile was formerly the Personal Needs Profile (PNP):
Student-specific information that tells KITE Client about individual users’ needs
which includes information needed to make the student’s user interface compatible
with his or her accessibility needs.
◦ These surveys need to be completed between January and February
2017.
•NJ Teacher Training October 2016 •56

DLM Practice Testlets
•NJ Teacher Training October 2016 •60
Practice Testlet Information
Practice testlets are available on the DLM KITEsystem and should be administered to the students prior to testing.
Practice testlets relate to some accessibility features the student may use. Select the practice testlets (“demos”) based on the AP features.
The purpose of using the practice items are to◦ confirm that a specific accessibility feature used in the
practice testlet is appropriate for the student. If not you may revise the AP before administering the first
operational (non-practice) testlet.
◦ give the student experience with the online test experience prior to answering live test questions. This allows the student and teacher to be aware of the
computer features, and helps to determine whether the student or teacher would “drive” (use the computer mouse) during testing.
•61•NJ Teacher Training October 2016
Practice Testlets
Refer to the Test Administration manual along with the Guide to Practice Activities & Released Testlets for information on accessing practice testlets.
◦ Guide to Practice Activities & Released Testlets YE (pdf)
Practice testlets login ID always start with “demo” for the login info.
Personalized practice testlets are not available in the DLM system. The practice test button seen on screen after logging in to a student’s account doesnot function.
DO NOT use the student’s login ID and password when looking for practice tests!
•NJ Teacher Training October 2016 •62
Engaging the Students
DLM engagement activities are present in the math and ELA reading testlets.
The engagement activities do not require a student response to a DLM test question.
The test administrator will engage the student in the activity and may ask factual questionsbut not lead them to answers.
The activities are meant to give the student a context for the questions, taps and activates prior knowledge and experience, and/or
introduces the concept(s) to be addressed.
•63•NJ Teacher Training October 2016
Engagement in Math
Each math testlet will have an engagement activity prior to the first test question.
The test administrator may choose to ask the student factual questions about the text and graphics to facilitate interaction with the material.
The engagement activity does not require a DLM test question response; it is meant to give the student a context for the questions and activate prior knowledge.
•64•NJ Teacher Training October 2016
Engagement in Math Scenario
The picture above shows an example of the first page prior to the
test questions that can be utilized as the engagement activity in
Math. A Test Administrator can only ask factual questions such as:
◦ Who is in the picture?
◦ Where does Jay work?
◦ What does Jay do?
•NJ Teacher Training October 2016 •65
Engagement in ELA - Reading
The first time the text is read acts as the engagement activity.
This first read-through is considered a shared reading activity.
The test administrator may ask factualquestions about the text and graphics. This is to facilitate student interaction and engagement with the information, with the hope of promoting student comprehension.◦ For example, “what is the boy holding in the
picture?”, “how many turtles are on the rock?”, etc.
•66•NJ Teacher Training October 2016
ELA Reading Engagement –Video of
Classroom in Westampton
•67•NJ Teacher Training October 2016
The web link below brings you to a video of a NJ elementary school student and his teacher as she demonstrates how to correctly engage the student in an ELA text.◦ http://hwcdn.net/n5d3p8v5/cds/assessment/apa/dlm/dlm.mp4
She is engaging the student in the first read of the text.
As you listen to the video, notice the factual questions she asked her student about the text and graphics.
Reminder that you may not provide the same level of interaction the second time the student reads the text.◦ The second read is strictly for assessment purposes, and the
student must read/listen to the text and answer the questions without teacher engagement.
Prompting Not Allowed
Verbal, gestural, model, and physical prompting is notallowed during the administration of any DLM testlet.
Students may not be given any help to answer the questions.
If a student does not answer a question, the test administrator may repeat the test question and then pause an appropriate amount of time for a student to process the question and select an answer.
◦ If the student still does not answer the question the teacher must mark “no response” when it is listed as one of
the response options; else
if “no response” is not one of the options, then do not mark any option. Continue to the next test question after leaving the prior answer blank.
•68•NJ Teacher Training October 2016
Clarification Allowed If Needed
Some test item directions ask the teacher to say “Show me the ….”
This may not be the language you typically use when asking a student a question.
When necessary, after stating the phrase “Show me the …,” you may restate the phrase for clarification by saying either of the following:◦ “Look at the …”
◦ “Point to the …”
◦ “Touch the …”
For example, the teacher may say “Show me the red marker.” Then for clarification the teacher says “Point to the red marker.”
