- Did you know you can set up learning objectives in Schoology to tie to your assessment questions?
- Then, if you connect each assessment question to an objective, you can get a mastery learning report to guide your instruction, something like this:
Schoology already has some of the standards loaded. If they don’t have yours, or if, like me, you prefer more details than the general standard, you can create your own!
- I created mine in the “Group Resources” so that the assessments I share with my colleagues can contain the learning standards I’ve tied to each question.
- We already had a group called “8th Grade Science” so I started a folder in there to house all of the “Learning Objectives.”
- When you create your assessment, you can connect each question to one of the Learning Objectives you’ve created (or one already set up).
- Anytime you tie a question to the same Learning Objective, Schoology will track students’ mastery of that objective.
- You can look at their understanding or skill attainment over time.
- Another practical application? Reviewing content from previous units that applies to current or future ones -- did the kiddo "get it" once you made the new connection or application?
- You can set the mastery levels to a certain percentage (I used 85%) and you can determine how mastery will be calculated… average of all assessments, highest achieved, most recent (I chose highest achieved).
- You can also track how mastery was achieved (on which assessment).
- This would be a great way to track the progress of skills that students are expected to gain throughout the year!
