versions will need to be uninstalled and the new Kite Student
Portal will need to be installed on all devices used for testing.
• DLM Manuals were released on August 1, 2018.
• There is ONE required test administrators training for educators
who have previously administered the MAP‐A assessment
• There are FOUR required test administrators training for new
educators to MAP A.

Kite System – Two Main Parts
• Kite Student Portal is an application students use to take tests.
Students will each have a Kite username and password. It must be
on all student computers.
• Kite Educator Portal is an application that allows educators to enter
and manage student data, enroll students in instructionally
embedded assessments, retrieve test tickets, and access
professional development and training modules. Educators have an
Educator Portal username and password. (web‐based: see Quick
Link) Educator Portal is located at https://educator.kiteaai.org

you will obtain the information from the previous district.
• Your assessment coordinator will contact the Assessment section at
DESE, and they will assist you in this process so information will not be
lost.
• If a student moves to another building in your district, the assessment
coordinator will transfer that student and information.
• Accountability is the same as any other studentEligibility for MAP-A

ESSA Changes
• Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) changed to a
1% cap on “participation” on alternate
assessments
❑ Districts who exceed the 1% cap on
participation will be required to complete a
justification form after the assessment data
comes in for the school year22
MAP-A
• The MAP‐A is required in three content areas:
❑ ELA in grades 3‐8 and 11
❑ Math in grades 3‐8 and 11
❑ Science in grades 5, 8 and 11
• Form D is used for these grades as they are state assessments.
• NOTE: Districts may chose to administer the optional MAP‐A ELA
and math assessments to students in grade 9, 10 and 12, and the
Science assessment in grades 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10 and 12 for local
assessment use. Please refer to Form E.Required Test Administrator Training

Essential Elements and Linkage Levels
50
How are Essential Elements (EE) Tested?
• Each EE found in the Blueprint is eligible for assessment in ELA,
math and/or science. Each testlet is comprised of three to nine
items.
• The testlets for each EE in ELA or math come in five levels of
complexity called Linkage Levels.
• The testlets for each EE in science come in only three levels of
complexity called Linkage Levels.51
ELA and Mathematics Linkage Levels
• In ELA and math, there are five possible Linkage Levels:
• Initial precursor
• Distal precursor
• Proximal precursor
• Target (most closely aligned to grade level)
• Successor52
Science Linkage Levels
• In science there are only three Linkage Levels:
❑ Initial precursor
❑ Proximal precursor
❑ Target (most closely aligned to grade level)53

Ideas for Success
• During the Instructionally Embedded Fall/Winter Window for ELA and math,
monitor and track progress on EEs. Keep notes on progress and give
descriptive feedback to students.
• Gain a clear understanding of the EEs by deconstructing or unwrapping them.
• View the Professional Development Modules online to better understand how
to teach the EEs.
• Use the Practice and Released Items with the students prior to administration
of the actual testlets.
• Use the information from Linkage Levels and Mini‐Maps for ELA and math to
plan instruction and create IEP goals.
• Use individual student reports to guide instruction.60
Suggestion One
• During the Instructionally Embedded Fall/Winter
window for ELA and math, monitor and track progress
on EEs.
• In Educator Portal, access and use the Instructional Plan
Report to keep track of progress, take notes and give
descriptive feedback to students.61 On Demand Progress Reports • Instructionally embedded assessment window • Separate information for ELA and math • Reports data regarding: ❑ Conceptual area(s) assessed ❑ Essential Element(s) assessed ❑ Linkage Levels
62
Use Student Reports
• This report summarizes the progress of a student in an
individual subject area. It only includes information
about assessments from instructional plans selected
through Instructional Tools Interface (ITI).
• Educators may find the report useful when planning or
reviewing instruction for a student. The report displays
the conceptual area(s) tested, the grade‐level
expectation (EE), the level tested, and indicates how the
student did.63
64
Suggestion Two
Gain a clear understanding of the Essential
Elements by deconstructing or unwrapping them.65 http://dlmpd.com/instructional-resources/
66
Suggestion Three
View the Professional Development Modules online
to better understand how to teach the EEs.67
68
Suggestion Four
Use the Practice and Released Items with the
students prior to administration of the actual
testlets.69
70
Suggestion Five
Use the information from Linkage Levels and Mini‐Maps for ELA and math to plan
instruction and create IEP goals.
• In ELA and math, Mini‐Maps identify important waypoints on route to an EE and
specify a student’s performance in relation to a grade‐ level target.
• To find a Mini‐Map for an Essential Element, go to these websites and click on the
link for an EE. The Linkage Levels and Mini‐Maps are available for each EE listed.

Suggestion Six
Use Individual Student Reports (ISR) to guide
instruction73
ISR General Information
• ISRs are located in Educator Portal under the Report tab
• DLM results are not based on raw or scaled scores
• ISRs are in two parts:
❑ Performance Profile
❑ Learning Profile
• Directors and teachers will need to have access to run the parent
report and student report. The parent report should be sent out
at approximately the same time as MAP and EOC.74
ISR Performance Profile
DLM Performance Level Descriptors:
• Emerging
• Approaching the Target
• At Target
• Advanced
**Performance Level Descriptors may help in setting goals and daily
instruction at the beginning of the year for performance at the end of the
previous year.
Mastery of Conceptual Areas are also included in the profile as the next
slide illustrates.75

What specific academic
skills did my child show on
this test?
This section lists specific skills
that your child demonstrated
during the assessment.
Are these academic skills based on grade-level academic content?
All reported academic skills are grade-level academic content or are leading up to grade-level content for students with the most
significant cognitive disabilities
Look at the next section of the report for more information about how your child’s performance compares to grade-level
alternate achievement standards.77
ISR Learning Profile
The Learning Profile describes
❑ EEs tested, including the skills mastered and not mastered;
❑ EEs not tested among those available to be tested in the grade
and subject;
❑ outlines the number of EEs and Conceptual Areas tested out
of the number expected for the grade level; and
❑ contains the number of EEs that students were required to be
tested on and the number on which the student actually
tested.78
79
Suggestions for Using the Learning Profile
• Set Instructional Goals
• Connect previous grade’s EEs to current grade
• Identify strengths and weaknesses
• Guide goal development for a standards based IEP
❑ PD modules are also available at
www.dlmpd.com80
Hints to Interpreting the ISR
• The amount of white space does not necessarily reflect a lack of
instruction. DLM is designed so students may be instructed at a
linkage level that is an appropriate level of challenge for them.
• Students with the most significant cognitive disabilities have a
variety of educational goals. Academics are one part of their
educational program.
• Teachers provide instruction beyond what is reflected in the
student’s DLM profile, including other academics, functional skills,
and other priorities identified in the IEPS.81
Hints to Interpreting ISR
• Remember that judgement of mastery is based on what the student
demonstrated on the DLM assessments.
• A student may have demonstrated a similar skill during instruction but
not demonstrated the skill during a DLM assessment.
• The assessment measures where students are with regard to the
grade‐level target.
• Not all students will perform at the target level, and this is to be
expected.
• The number of skills mastered does not mean that a student answered
a certain percent of items correctly.Additional Important Information
