Dynamic Learning Maps: Instructionally Embedded Fall 2025 Assessments Window
To assist educators in the identification of students’ specific needs, Dynamic Learning Maps (DLM) and the New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) are offering the use of DLM’s instructionally embedded (IE) assessments in fall of 2025 for students with the most significant intellectual disabilities. Use of the DLM IE assessments is available at no cost, is completely optional, and has no impact on the required year-end, summative DLM assessment. New Jersey districts may access the DLM IE assessments from September 9 through December 19, 2025. For more information, please review the broadcast released on September 3, 2025.
