What are the visibility options for assessments in the Parent and Student Portals?

As a Mastery Connect teacher, you can control the visibility of assessment information in the parent and student portals for both formative and benchmark assessments. You can make the following visible or hidden in the portals:

  • assessment items
  • assessment answer key
  • item analysis details
  • student answers

You can control the privacy display settings for all assessments in a tracker, or for individual single-standard or multi-standard assessments.

Notes:

  • Assessment report data is hidden until the assessment is taken by the student, or until you make it visible. 
  • Available display options are determined by assessment type.
