DLM Training

This training is for teachers that will be administering Dynamic Learning Maps, and need to complete the initial training. We will also have a discussion regarding how to navigate the DLM website and how that can be implemented into your classroom.   Participants need to bring a fully charged device and their copy of student results from 2020-21 DLM Assessments.  If you do not have a copy of student results - please request them from your DAC (District Assessment Coordinator) for the students on your caseload that took the DLM last spring.

Audience:  Teachers who will be administering the DLM assessment for students

AM Session: 8:30-11:30

Focus on completion of REQUIRED training for DLM administration.  This is the initial training for test administrators. If you completed the training last year (initial or recertification) to administer the DLM assessment and did not assess a student, you will be able to complete the recertification in MOODLE (1 hour).  Updated 11/9/21 per DPI email from Michael Peacy.    This training takes 2.5 - 3 hours to complete.  It will be done as a group and facilitated by a CESA 8 RSN Director from 8:30-11:30 am.

**NOTE: For staff who need to complete the one-hour recertification in MOODLE - we will have spaces available for you to do that as well as network from 9:30-11:30 am.  Several rooms/areas will be identified as workspaces for you to complete this and then you can participate in lunch and PM session. **You MUST register to ensure CESA 8 has spaces available. This will not be facilitated and will be on your own.

PM Session: 11:30 - 3:00:   Lunch and Networking Session

This session will include lunch and networking. Instructionally embedded assessments will be reviewed (what these are, how you can use for 2021-22, how to support your instruction) per DLM/DPI training.  Essential Elements will be reviewed as a tool for instruction and to support IEP writing, DLM resources and PD will be shared with new learning. We will engage in learning connected to supporting students taking the DLM as informed by best practices (i.e. inclusion, IEPs, reviewing reports, review of DPI resources/tools, etc.)

Please email Brenda Jozwiak-Boldig at:  bjboldig@cesa8.org if you have questions.

You will need a fully charged device, copies of DLM reports for 1 or more students on your caseload, access to KITE portal via an educator portal account and Moodle site.  Please check with your DAC to ensure that your students are rostered for 21-22 assessments.  You may have time to work on First Contact Survey and other planning for your students per the rosters if they are completed.

Cost to attend is $50.00 for PDSESS districts, $100 for Non-PDSESS district members
