The DLM assessment provides academic standards that are used to measure academic achievement for students who are eligible for the alternate assessment. Throughout this school year in (SCHOOL’s NAME), your child will be provided academic instruction in English language arts, mathematics, and science using the (STATE’S NAME) standards.\nIn the spring, during our state’s assessment window, your child will take testlets. These testlets will be in English language arts, mathematics, and science. Each testlet includes questions from one or more of the standards that your child’s teacher used for instruction during the school year. The spring assessment window for our state is [enter your test administration window dates].\nDuring the spring assessment window, the number of testlets and the approximate length of time for testing may vary depending on the subject, the grade level, and each student’s individual needs. The materials used in the testlets can be adapted to your child’s needs. The testlets must be completed during our state’s assessment window, but your child may take the testlets over a period of several days during that window as needed.\nWe anticipate that testing time will be as follows:\nSubject Area Tested\nNumber of Testlets\nApproximate length of time, depending on grade level and student’s individual needs\nEnglish language arts\n9 testlets\n90–135 minutes\nMathematics\n6–8 testlets\n60–120 minutes\nScience\n9–10 testlets\n90–140 minutes\nYour child’s results are completely confidential (in accordance with the Confidential Information Protection provisions of Title V, Subtitle A, Public Law 107–346). Scores from the testlets will be used according to your district’s policy.\nIf you would like additional information about the Dynamic Learning Maps alternate assessment, please visit \u0013 HYPERLINK \"http://dynamiclearningmaps.org/\" \u0014http://dynamiclearningmaps.org/\u0015. If you have questions, please contact me at [TELEPHONE NUMBER] or via e-mail [E-MAIL ADDRESS].\nWe are excited that our district will take part in the Dynamic Learning Maps alternate assessment again this year, and we are very pleased that your child will be participating.\nSincerely,\nSchool Principal","cbCaiiAQagHxyvwU","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiAQagHxyvwU","docx",19770,"English","# DLM Alternate Assessment Overview\n## Instruction Aligned to State Standards\n## Spring Testlets and Assessment Window\n## Testlet Timing by Subject\n## Confidentiality and Results Handling","[{\"question\":\"What is the Dynamic Learning Maps® alternate assessment used for?\",\"answer\":\"It is the alternate assessment (DLM®) used to measure academic achievement for students eligible for alternate assessment due to significant cognitive disabilities.\"},{\"question\":\"When will my child take the assessment?\",\"answer\":\"During the spring state assessment window.
