The First Contact Survey
determines the Linkage
Level that will be delivered
to the student when the
student enters the
assessment.
Each EE and the nodes at
each linkage level are on
the Educator Recourse
page at
http://dynamiclearningma
ps.org/kansas
There are 5 linkage levels:
then go to Essential
Elements and click on the
EE you are choosing and
you will see what is on the
next slide. This information

DLM 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:
 Instruction
 Then 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

DLM Integrated Model
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 Model
2015-2016
 As teachers go through that process they are
creating many data points for each student across
the school year
 These 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

DLM Integrated Model
End of year testing date is –
March 9 – May 15
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.

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
