In order for us to do this, each teacher needs to go into your Mastery Connect account and complete the following steps:

First of all, mine doesn't always work in Google Chrome, but it DOES work in Firefox, so you might want to use that browser.

Click on "Trackers" and then "Add Tracker"

Fill in the items for the tracker. (ELEMENTARY/MIDDLE: YOU WILL NEED TO CREATE A DIFFERENT TRACKER FOR EACH SUBJECT YOU TEACH!) 

After you click "Create Tracker", it will have you search for each of your students. If you type in their last name, it should bring up your student. Just click on the student that you were searching for and it should add it.

After you have added all of your students, click the "Import Students" button

Your tracker should pull up with your standards and students. Leave it like it is, we will take it from here. ;)

When you create another tracker for a different subject, fill out the information under "Add Tracker" as you did before, but this time, under "Add Each Student", Click the arrow and it will let you copy a tracker you have already created. This will help you not have to type in each student again.

If you have any problems, there are tutorial videos under the boxes beside your name (sorry, I don't know the proper name for them). If you click on "Online PD", there are tutorials for everything you could possibly think of for this program using it as a teacher. The videos are short (about 3 minutes each)

STUDENTS LOGGING ON TO TAKE THEIR TEST:

Each student will receive a username and password. KEEP THESE - THEY WILL NEED THEM EVERY TIME THEY LOG ON!!!

They will follow the directions (go to masteryconnect.com/login) and enter their username and password.

It should look like this:

When they click "Submit", they will have to type their password 2 more times. I would tell them to type the same thing on their sheet that they typed in the first time.

When they save, it will bring up the Progress Monitoring tests that were assigned to them. Make sure they are looking at the correct assessment, and have them click "start assessment" on the right hand side.

If the student log-in isn’t working or shows a blank test and you need a test ID instead:

Go into your teacher account and log in to your tracker. Scroll over to find the dark gray cell that has the test:

 

Click on the drop down arrow on this test and click “Assess”

All the standards being assessed will pop up, you only need to click one - they all have the same test code. Click “Assess” at the top

Write down the test code and put it on the board for the students.

IF YOU TEST THIS WAY, MAKE SURE THE STUDENTS LOG IN TO:

Student.masteryconnect.com

It will ask for their test ID. They put it in, test, and the scores will still automatically go in your tracker.

How to Print Tests:

Go into your tracker to the assessment. Click the drop down menu and click "View"

A smaller box will pop up. Click "Assessment" at the top in the green.

Notice that, at the top of that box on the right, there is a printer icon that says "print". When you click this, it should automatically pull up your printing window.

Creating and Assigning Your Own Tests:

IF NOTHING WITH TECHNOLOGY IS WORKING TO GIVE THIS TEST:

You can print the test (see directions above) give the test, and enter the raw scores. 

Go to the assessment in your tracker. Click the drop down arrow, then "assess"

You can then enter in raw scores for your students. Just be sure to bring the hard copy of the student tests with you to your next data meeting. ;)

When using this method, be sure you pay attention to the standard each question is addressing when inputting scores (see below). It should tell you on the print out or online which standard goes with each question. We can  help you decipher this if needed.
