How do I distribute a district formative assessment as an admin?

As a Mastery Connect administrator (admin), you can distribute item-based or document-based formative assessments to multiple trackers in your district. This is an admin-only feature.

District Formative assessments:

  • Are aligned to individual standards, and each tracker that receives the assessment must align with all of the standards included on the district formative assessment.
  • Must be set as private to the district or they can not be distributed.
  • Display in trackers in the same way as regular formative assessments.
  • Impact student mastery scores.
