Creating a Mastery Tracker

Mastery helps educators identify students who demonstrate mastery of skills over time. This tool allows educators to identify key groups of students and monitor their mastery of standards over the course of an academic year. Mastery empowers teachers to track student mastery of standards and permits administrators to observe student progress.

The Mastery Tracker works with the following assessments administered in Aware:

• Local Test Types
• Rubrics

Mastery aggregates student data connected to learning standards.

Note: Mastery will not display data from test questions that are not aligned to standards.

A teacher with rostered classes or a user with an approved student access list can create Mastery Trackers. Users with the View Student Tests right can view a teacher’s Mastery Trackers but cannot edit them.

Quick Guide

1. Click Create Tracker.
2. Enter a Title, Description (if desired), Add Course, Subject, Grade Level, and Test Type associated with the tracker.
3. Select Create & Continue. 
4. Select assessments (or skip this step for now) and click Next.
5. Select students (or skip this step for now) and click Finish.

Note: No data will populate into a Mastery Tracker until users select assessments and students. Teachers can add this information to the tracker later as needed.
