Released Testlets for At-Home Instruction

More released testlets are now available in Kite® Student Portal.

The Released Testlets for At-Home Instruction resource is intended to serve as an at-home instructional support for parents and educators as they use released testlets, in conjunction with other Dynamic Learning Maps® (DLM®) resources, for at-home instruction. Parents and educators can access this resource on their state’s Educator Resource Page or in the Information for Parents section under the About Us tab on the DLM website at https://dynamiclearningmaps.org/.

Please share this message with your colleagues and show them how to subscribe to DLM Test Updates (from this page). Thank you.

Best,
DLM staff


Leverage the Power of Community

We invite you to join the Special Education Distance Learning Community, a place to come together to trade stories, ask questions, and connect through shared experiences. Margaret Wheatley wrote, “There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about.”

This community of educators is also an outlet for sharing and acquiring adapted lessons and materials. By creating a depository of ideas, together, we can do more. The sharing form can be accessed at the Distance Learning Community Sharing Form (click here). Distance Learning Community Spreadsheet (Material Access)

We have been given a chance to see our students in a new light, and better connect with families knowing that the school year will not unfold as planned, all curricular goals will not be met, and expectations will be viewed with a new perspective. Our next Distance Learning Community connection will focus on transitions.

Zoom meeting: Special Education Distance Learning Community When: May 13, 2020, 3:30 PM Central Time (US and Canada)
