In Mastery Connect, you can create a formative assessment in the assessment builder using a document-based, item-based, or raw score source.
Assessments can be aligned to single or multiple standards and can be aligned to specific trackers or curriculum maps. They can be kept private, shared with your school, your district, or across the Mastery Connect Community.
