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

  1. From the Progress Monitoring screen, click on a student's name to access the Mastery Measures
  2. When the Probe for the Mastery Measure was created, the teacher set the proficiency goal (70%, 80% or 90%). 
Look at the example below:
  1. Each time the student met the teacher determined proficiency target a dark blue square with a check mark is shown.
  2. This student, Michael, has met his target each time you see a dark blue square with a checkmark.
  3. Michael's teacher decided when he was ready to start a new probe.
  4. 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. 

  1. 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%.
  1. You can see that Michael met this target three weeks in row.
  2. 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:
  1. You can see that he met his proficiency target three times out of the five attempts he has had. 
  2. Once he had accomplished this, Michael's teacher stopped this probe since he had met the goal.  

Multiple Short Term Objectives

  1. After Michael met his proficiency target with the first two objectives. His teacher created a new measure to help Michael continue to grow. 
  2. You can see how Michael performed on the different short-term objectives.
