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

Measures in Mastery Measurement are teacher-developed specific long-term 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.

Each measure is a place to graph progress on multiple specific objectives. Student growth and progress toward proficiency with each objective is documented as the student completes weekly probes.

You create a new measure by selecting a student from the Progress Monitoring screen.

Step-by-Step Guidance

Select a Student

From the Progress Monitoring screen, click on the student’s name 


Select Mastery Measurement

From the menu along the left side of the screen


Select “Add Measure” in the top right corner


Name the Measure

Give the Measure a name and add a written description. Remember, this is the name of the overall or long term goal. This can correspond to a formal academic goal. This typically lasts the entire school year. Then click “Save”.

Notes
Whatever you name the Mastery Measure will be printed on the report.
