The Low Incidence City-Wide Program is a specialized education program designed to serve
students with significant intellectual disabilities who attend Baltimore City Public Schools. The
curriculum focuses on Dynamic Learning Maps Essential Elements.

The Dynamic Learning Maps Essential Elements are specific statements of knowledge and skills
linked to the grade-level expectations identified in the Common Core State Standards. The
purpose of the Dynamic Learning Maps Essential Elements is to build a bridge from the content
in the Common Core State Standards to academic expectations for students with the most
significant cognitive disabilities.

Students in the program take part in the Dynamic Learning Maps (DLM) assessments. DLM
assessments are for students with the most significant cognitive disabilities for whom general
state assessments are not appropriate, even with accommodations. DLM assessments offer the
students a way to show what they know and can do in English language arts, mathematics, and
science.

At FSK, our Life Skills students are also given the opportunity to experience extracurricular activities including bowling and participation in City-Wide Special Olympics programs. FSK welcomes students in this program and their families to be a meaningful part of our school community.
