We understand that creating and managing Mastery Trackers is essential for gathering accurate insights into your students’ progress, and we're committed to making this process smoother and more efficient.
That’s why we’re excited to share three key updates that will simplify workflows for both teachers and administrators, ultimately saving you valuable time so that you can get the results you need to support your students’ mastery.
Update 1: District Approved Cores
Selecting the right Core & Class can be challenging, but is critical to ensuring that your students are assessing toward the correct standards. For example, if I am a Language Arts teacher in Utah, should I choose the Common Core, Utah Standards for 2016, or Utah Standards for 2023? These options all seem reasonable, but making an incorrect choice can lead to confusion and issues with data reporting.
Facilitate alignment with the correct standards by ensuring that teachers only have access to approved cores when creating trackers, curriculum maps, or assessments. This eliminates the need to sift through extensive lists, making it easier to find the correct core for your district.
Please contact your Customer Success Manager or Mastery Support to get this setting configured for your account.
Update 2: Manage Teacher Tracker Creation
Occasionally, teachers need to move quickly to get ready for district assessments. When doing so, it is easy to accidentally recreate the tracker. Unfortunately, this results in tracker duplication, which is confusing for the teachers, students, and for administrator reporting.
Prevent accidental duplicate Trackers and streamline insights at the district level. With this setting, district administrators can toggle on or off teachers’ ability to create their own trackers.
Update 3: In-App Tour of Tracker Creation
Creating Trackers is a process that occurs only a few times a year for most Mastery Connect teachers. We want to make sure it is as easy as possible when you need to do it.

Looking Ahead: A Commitment to Long-Term Improvement
While these updates mark significant progress, they’re just the first steps in our journey toward creating a more robust and intuitive Tracker creation and management process. Our future target is to dramatically streamline this experience for teachers, making it simpler and more reliable to manage assessment delivery both in the classroom and at the district-scale.
Reaching this target will take time, as we're committed to thoughtfully crafting the best possible solution. Our goal is to ensure that when it’s ready, it will not only meet your needs but exceed your expectations. We appreciate your patience as we work to deliver an experience that truly transforms the way you build and use your Mastery Tracker.
