Mastery Connect Supplemental Lesson District Benchmarks

Finding the district benchmark There are two ways to assess the district benchmark…..computer and bubblesheet. First, go to your tracker, click the hour (class) you need to assess, slide over through the standards (use the bar at the bottom and scroll to the right), you will see the district benchmark is a black column and when you hover at the top it will have the title of the assessment. Remember you do NOT search through the common assessments, it will automatically appear in your class tracker for you.

Assessing on the computer cont. The first box to pop up says test id- students enter the id # you copied for that hour/class. The next box to pop up says student id- have students enter their 6-digit student id #. Students can see the exam and enter all of their answers in the bubbles to the left of the screen. If students do NOT finish, have them hit the pause button on the top left above the bubbles, if they do finish, have them hit submit, and then click okay. Their scores will pop up and be in your class tracker for mastery connect.
