What is a Tracker?
Collecting assessment data in Mastery Connect begins with a tracker. Your trackers include your student roster, the specific standards taught, and specific standards assessed in each class. Assessments are added, created, and delivered from the tracker. Trackers also provide access to a variety of reports that can help drive your instruction.
Important Note: You will have one tracker per subject or class. Therefore, if you are a primary grade teacher with the same group of students for the entire year, create one tracker for Math, one for Language Arts, and so forth.
How to Create a Tracker:
1.On your home page, locate the Tracker tab on the Global Navigation bar at the top of your screen. Previously created trackers are displayed on this page.
2. To create a new tracker, select the Create Tracker button.
3. In this example, we will create a tracker from a Curriculum Map (CMAP). CMAPs allow us to build templates for trackers that are aligned to our CIP pacing guides and are preloaded with all of the CIP formative assessments available for each course. These CMAPs are aligned to the same sets of standards as CIP benchmarks which will ensure the benchmarks populate the trackers when they’re ready to be pushed out.
Click the Curriculum Map option from the dropdown menu.
4. Click Shared With Me from the dropdown menu.
5. Select the curriculum map (CMAP) standard for your subject area from the list.
6. You can fill in a description of this tracker in the dropdown menu.
7. Add a color to the folder. If you create multiple trackers, you might want to select a different color for each folder to help distinguish your trackers.
8. To add students to this tracker, click the dropdown menu next to Add Students and select Import students from SIS.
9. Click Create Tracker.
10. The completed tracker is now added to your list of trackers. This list can be viewed by going to the Trackers tab on the Mastery Connect Homepage.
Congratulations! You have successfully created a tracker.
