The document discusses the Dynamic Learning Maps Alternate Assessment. It describes the learning map, which illustrates the route to mastery of an essential element. The map is comprised of nodes, or chunks of learning, that students must master to achieve the target. There are over 1,600 nodes in English and over 2,300 nodes in math. Nodes are grouped in linkage levels based on complexity and accessibility. Progress is tracked as students master nodes and move through linkage levels from precursor to target. Questions can be directed to the contact provided.

DLM Resources Guide Instruction
The Learning Map • The Learning Map illustrates the route to Target- level mastery. • The map is made up of nodes or learning chunks. • Each “chunk” of learning, or node mastered, will take the learner closer to the academic Target. • The Essential Element (EE) is the content-specific Target.

The Learning Map Resources: http://goo.gl/ccOlg2
Essential Elements • Essential Elements (EEs) link standards with grade- level expectations. • EEs are academic targets. • Targets are statements of skill and knowledge and are aligned with Common Core State Standards. Math EEs -- http://goo.gl/wEPEVn ELA EEs --http://goo.gl/Mh2hln
Nodes • Nodes in the map represent specific knowledge, skills, and understandings. • 1,645 nodes in English language arts map 2,312 nodes in the mathematics map • Clusters of content-specific nodes mark each linkage level. • Nodes & linkage levels are determined by First Contact Survey and Personal Needs Profile (PNP).
