UNDERSTANDING YOUR MASTERY TRACKER
THE MASTERY TRACKER
Once you click “Trackers” on your navigation bar you will see all created Mastery Trackers. This will show:
- Tracker names
- Trackers linked to Canvas or not (if you use the Canvas Learning Management System)
- Curriculum Map used for the Tracker
- Percent of standards assessed in each Tracker
Once you click on a specific Tracker, it will open and the data will be shown. Within your Tracker, you will see:
- Student names
- Standards being assessed
- Number of assessments attached to each standard (when assessment have been created)
- Mastery Tracker settings
- Scores and data for standards, multi-standard assessments, and MVPAs (after students have completed assessments)
- Student mastery arranged in colors
|
PRO TIP: Student mastery is divided into 3 or 4 colors/categories with green/blue being representing the highest level(s) of proficiency. Use your traffic light/skittles button to better see student data displayed. Use settings to compare data and change between class rosters and sections. |
MASTERY TRACKER SETTINGS
The buttons on the top right of your Mastery Tracker screen are your Tracker settings. Each button has a specific, unique purpose and job.
- Person = Students
- Narrow down focus on students
- Pinpoint certain students to check for mastery
- Notebook = Mastery Tracker
- Add or remove standards or units to view and compare
- Pencils = Tools and Accommodations
- Choose tools and accommodations to be available on teacher created assessments
- Selected tools and accommodations will remain available for individual students for the entire school-year
- Only applicable on EA tests
- Gear = Settings
- Basic settings and what to display in Student Portal
- Three Dots = More
- Add collaborators
- Online PD
- See Standards or Curriculum Map
|
PRO TIP: Remember to click save after making any changes in the buttons. Return Default will return things back to how they were initially. Text-to-speech is not an accommodation for ALL students, it must be turned on manually for EACH student. |
