What is a Mastery Measure and how do I create a new one?

Mastery Measures are teacher-developed, specific, long-term, or annual academic goals.

Teachers can choose to use a formal academic goal, like an IEP or 504 plan, as the Mastery Measure for a specific student.

Mastery Measurement Probes are designed to track progress on multiple specific, short-term objectives. Student progress toward proficiency in each aim is documented as the student completes weekly probes.

A school year calendar divided by months from September through May. A Mastery Meassure description is shown extending the full length of the year describing a student's overall annual goal. Mastery Measurement Probes that track proficiency with specific short term objectives are shown below.
