ALIGNMENT OF THE DLM EES TO THE DLM LEARNING MAPS 
 
 
Teams of content experts worked together to revise the initial version of the DLM EEs and the learning maps to ensure 
appropriate alignment of these two critical elements of the project. Alignment involved horizontal alignment of the DLM EEs with the 
Common Core State Standards and vertical alignment of the DLM EEs with meaningful progressions in the learning maps. The 
alignment process began when researchers Caroline Mark and Kelli Thomas compared the learning maps with the initial version of 
the DLM EEs to determine how the map and the DLM EEs should be adjusted to improve their alignment.
