From a Mastery Connect tracker, you can create an assessment that contains standards from more than one grade level.
A tracker must include multiple grade-level standards before you can use it to create multi-grade level assessments. To include multiple grade-level standards on a tracker created from a curriculum map, you can add the standards to the map. To include multiple grade-level standards on a tracker that was not created from a map, you can add them directly to the tracker.
Once you add other grade level standards to your tracker, you can create an multi-grade level assessment from it.
Add Standards to Curriculum Map
If a tracker is based on a curriculum map, add additional grade standards to the map. In the Global Navigation menu, click the Maps link [1]. Then, on the Curriculum Maps page, click the curriculum map name [2].
To add standards to the map, hover the cursor over the Curriculum Map Options icon [1] and select the Add Standard option [2]. Add standards from as many grades as needed.
You can learn more about adding standards to a curriculum map.
Update or Create Tracker
After you add standards from another grade level [1], you can apply the updates to existing trackers that use this map, or you can create a new tracker. To apply map updates to existing trackers, click the Apply Updates button [2]. Or, to create a new tracker from the map, click the Create Tracker button [3].
Add Standards to Tracker
You can also add standards to a tracker that is not created from a curriculum map. To add standards to an existing tracker, open the tracker.
In the Tracker View page, click the More button [1], then click the Standards link [2].
From the Standards menu, select the Add Standard option. Add standards from any grade as needed.
You can learn more about adding standards to a tracker.
Create Assessment
Once your tracker contains multi-grade level standards, you can create an assessment from the tracker. From an open tracker, click the Add Assessment button [1]. Then, click the Create new link [2].
Select Multi-Standard
Click the Standard drop-down menu [1], and select the Multi-Standard option [2].
Select Standard from Any Grade
If you are creating a document-based assessment or a bubble sheet assessment, you can select any standard that exists in the tracker.
If you are creating an assessment from an item bank, you can select items aligned to any standard that exists in the tracker.
