Is there a way to look at a student's previous years scores? For example, if I were a first grade teacher and wanted to see what letters and sounds a student knew when they left kindergarten.

AMYJOEVANS · 2025-04-23

I see DESMOS is an option to embed on an assignment. It will not allow me to use it. Is that a district toggle?

I cant see a test that we are using. A fellow teacher created a test and I have my students correct their test when finished and it says error when they pull it up on sessions. What to do?

Our district has new standards this year for ELA. We have previous Mastery Connect assignments that we would love to use this year. When we try to add to tracker, it says the standards do not align. When we try to clone the assignment, it still does ...

EricMichael · 2025-03-25

I am curious why a county benchmark assessment doesn't factor into a student's overall mastery when looking at an individual strand? For example in the photo below, this student missed the question with this standard on the unit test, thus they are ...

Is there a way to isolate a student's data from a benchmark assessment to see what standards need to be retaught for that specific student?

JillCreel · 2025-03-07

Does anyone know how to generate a tracker report for standards without including the Beginning of the Year test? I feel like it's creating the appearance that the student's mastery is lower than it really is because that test is factoring into the o...

I teach both 4th and 5th grade science. I would like to be able to add some 4th grade SOL questions to their tests for review or extra credit. How can I access 4th grade material/questions for 5th graders? It won't let me.
