In Mastery Connect, you can create curriculum maps using core learning standards. Learning standards are statements that identify the skills students will learn and practice in a subject or course during the school year. Standards are identified by grade level and domain. Each domain may include multiple strands that together identify a collection of skills that demonstrate mastery in that domain.
When you create a curriculum map, you must select the standard subject, source, and grade level. Once added in a curriculum map, you can pin resources that teach the standard and associate assessments to measure standard mastery.
