  2. Common Core Essential Elements

  3. Common Core Essential Elements Definition: The Common Core Essential Elements (CCEE) are specific statements of the content and skills that are linked to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). They are grade level specific expectations for students with significant cognitive disabilities. Office of Student Assessment

  4. Common Core Essential Elements Are: Are not: Downward extension to pre-K General essence statements Statements of functional skills • Links to grade level Common Core State Standards (CCSS) • Statements of content and skills that provide a bridge for students with significant cognitive disabilities to achieve grade differentiated expectations • Provide challenge and rigor appropriate for students with significant cognitive disabilities in consideration of the significance of their disabilities Office of Student Assessment

  12. Dynamic Learning Maps Alternate Assessment System • Four Assessment Consortiums or CCSS • Smarter Balanced Assessments • National Center and State Collaborative (NCSC) • Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) • Dynamic Learning Maps (DLM) • Mississippi is a member & governing state in PARCC to assess Common Core State Standards • Mississippi is a member and governing state in DLM to assess student with significant cognitive disabilities on Common Core Essential Elements Office of Student Assessment

  14. DLM Development Office of Student Assessment

  15. Overview of DLM The DLM Alternate Assessment System*English Language Arts and Mathematics, Grades 3–8 and High School DIGITAL LIBRARY of learning maps; professional development resources; guidelines for IEP development and student selection for the alternate assessment; instructionally relevant tasks with guidelines for use materials, accommodations, and scaffolding; automated scoring (for most) and diagnostic feedback; and online reporting system. FORMATIVE EMBEDDED TASK ASSESSMENTS A series of more than 100 items/tasks per year embedded within instruction, each with various forms and scaffolds to allow for customization to student needs. Each task typically requires one to five minutes for completion. END-OF-YEAR SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT * Alternate assessment systems are those developed for students with the most significant cognitive disabilities and are based on alternate achievement standards. ** Research will be conducted to review the technical feasibility of using data from the tasks for summative accountability purposes.

  16. A Look at the DLM System Office of Student Assessment

  17. DLM Key Features • Common Core Essential Elements (CCEE) and instructional exemplars • Learning maps • Dynamic assessment • Instructionally-relevant testlets • Instructionally-embedded and stand-alone versions • Advanced feedback and reporting systems (including growth modeling) • Technology platform • Professional development Office of Student Assessment

  18. Iterative Development Process Definition of ITERATIVE:involving repetition: as a: expressing repetition of a verbal action b: relating to or being iteration of an operation or procedure In other words…it’s going to keep changing. And that’s a good thing! Office of Student Assessment
