At Mastery Connect we are always working to ensure that educators have access to what you need to start your school year off right. In that spirit we have made a few changes to our roadmap to make sure you can start assessing students on day one.

What do you do if your school or district changes courses at the end of the semester, but your MasteryConnect Tracker is set up to measure student progress for the entire school year? We have a solution, link that Tracker to a different course. 

The MasteryConnect team was hard at work in 2021. Check out some of the features we are most proud of sharing with you.

The MasteryConnect Teacher App works as the perfect companion for mastery-tracking both around the classroom and away from your computer. The Teacher App is available on both iOS and Android! 

Managing content at a district level is a huge job, and content is always changing. Check out three tools that will help you get your most up-to-date content into Teacher’s Trackers to help inform instruction.

The MasteryConnect team is looking toward the future, and we want to hear from you! 

Welcome back for the 2021-2022 school year! It is time for fresh crayons, blank notebooks, and a new MasteryConnect integration with Canvas. Since teachers are busy getting ready for the return of students I wanted to share six of my favorite time saving features in the new integration. 

Districts want to help their educators ensure standard mastery, and then correlate those formative results with benchmark and summative data to predict progress - as well as to analyze disparities and trends by school, cohort, student subpopulation, and more.

Thank you to those of you who were able to attend the MasteryConnect Updates: More to Love for Back to School ‘21  webinar! We had a great time showing off the awesome new features that are on the way.

If you were unable to attend, it’s not too late to get a sneak preview into what is being released for Back to School (Spoiler alert: improved workflows, enhanced Tracker experiences, and deeper Canvas integration!). 

Using MasteryConnect and Canvas just got better! Soon Trackers will be connected to Canvas Courses, making it even easier to access the power of the MasteryConnect directly from your Canvas Course. Now you’ll have more time for teaching, assessing, and planning instruction. 

The Tracker is the heart and soul of MasteryConnect. And now it’s even better! We are so excited to share our freshly redesigned Tracker with you! 

For back to school 2021, MasteryConnect has redesigned the Tracker header and made navigation within the Tracker a LOT easier to use. Our team wants teachers to have access to the features that they need on a daily basis and not waste valuable time searching for them.

See what we have planned for back to school '21!

We are excited to be blogging about MasteryConnect with you! Find out what to expect in our posts.

In the classroom, with a paper copy of a text, students can use highlighters, sticky notes, and all kinds of colorful pens and pencils to help them annotate the text and read for understanding. Active reading while taking online assessments can be more challenging. We have all encountered students who read through a passage quickly, click through the test, and submit without demonstrating an understanding of the subject.

We are taking small deliberate steps in creating seamless experiences between our products—this is one of them, and we need your feedback!
