How do I interpret students' Mastery Measurement results?
Introduction
The teacher who created the Mastery Measure determines when the student's goal has been met. The teacher set the proficiency percentage (70%, 80% or 90% for example) and stop the probe when they determine the goal has been met. The student's performance is automatically graphed and summarized to help the teacher easily visualize when a goal has been met.
Overview of Performance
- From the Progress Monitoring screen, click on a student's name to access the Mastery Measures
- When the Probe for the Mastery Measure was created, the teacher set the proficiency goal (70%, 80% or 90%).
Look at the example below:
- Each time the student met the teacher determined proficiency target a dark blue square with a check mark is shown.
- This student, Michael, has met his target each time you see a dark blue square with a checkmark.
- Michael's teacher decided when he was ready to start a new probe.
- In this case, Michael's teacher waited until he met his target score 3 times in a row. When he did that, she stopped that probe and started a new one.
- You can use this key to know whether a student met the goal or not each week.
First Short Term Objective
Look at Michael's graph below. His teacher set his proficiency target at 80%.
- You can see that Michael met this target three weeks in row.
- Michael's teacher decided he had met the goal and stopped this probe.
Second Short Term Objective
After his teacher determined he met his first objective, Michael's teacher started a new probe. Her goal for Michael this time was to meet the proficiency target on 3 out of 5 attempts. Look at Michael's graph below:
- You can see that he met his proficiency target three times out of the five attempts he has had.
- Once he had accomplished this, Michael's teacher stopped this probe since he had met the goal.
Multiple Short Term Objectives
- After Michael met his proficiency target with the first two objectives. His teacher created a new measure to help Michael continue to grow.
- You can see how Michael performed on the different short-term objectives.
