How to Get Started with SCORE21 and CASE Benchmarks

Powered by Mastery Connect

I. Getting started:

Prior to getting started you should have received an activation email from Mastery Connect. This

will allow you to set your grade, subject and private password. If you did not receive this email,

please contact your district technology department to make sure that your name was submitted to

Mastery Connect.

Google Chrome is the preferred browser, Firefox is the second option.

Type www.masteryconnect.com into the address bar.

This brings you to your homepage. It is highly recommended that you watch the 19 interactive

video tutorials. You will be prompted to do so upon your first login. To find the 19 interactive

tutorials, go to your homepage and click interactive tour at the top right. See image 1a below.

These videos are approximately 30 minutes in length.

If you need more in-depth Professional Development tutorials, it is recommended that you view

the Mindful Videos which also can be accessed from your home page. See image 1b below.

These videos are broken up into three different levels. Each level will take approximately 45-60

minutes to view.

Grade).

Type your class name in the description box (ex. Dowd Period 1 Math).

Select a folder color.

Add students to your class tracker by clicking the drop-down arrow next to add students (See image 2a

below).

There are three different ways to add students to your class.

o For CSV file imported students, teachers will click to add students individually, then select add

from SSI, and search for students. http://help.masteryconnect.com/article/import-students-from-a-

csv-file/

o For SIS integrated student files, teachers will select import from SIS, then select the correct

section http://help.masteryconnect.com/article/import-students-from-an-sis/

o You can Click add students individually, this will allow you to add students manually by typing in

their names and student ID #’s.

Click Create Tracker

o Type in first name, last name, and student ID in the appropriate boxes (you can assign a number

other than student ID if you choose but all students must have a unique # (ex. 001, 002, 003). If

not assigned, the program will provide the student a unique number.

o Click orange Save + Add Another button. Repeat process until all students have been added.

o After typing the last student, click orange Save + Close button.

Your tracker has now been set up for this class.

The same steps will be followed when creating trackers for other classes. If the same students are in

multiple classes, you may choose to copy students from another tracker.

Next to Title, name or title your test (ex. for a test that is just assessing mastery of Ratios and Proportions,

you could name your test Ratios and Proportions Quick Check.

You can type a description in the description box to give more detail, but you do not have to type anything.

For the Assessment Source, choose SCORE21 Formative Assessment Builder (as seen in image 5b below).

seen in image 5c above).

Click the Item number to view the item then click the green plus button to the right of each assessment item

to add the item to your SCORE21 assessment (see image 5d below).

If this is a multi-standard assessment being created, after finding items on one standard and adding, change

your standard from the drop-down to find more questions wrapped around the new standard. Repeat the

process to add questions from that standard to the right.

Once you have selected your preferred items for your test, make your scoring selections (see image 5e

below). Total Points Possible will be calculated automatically. Then you will need to determine how many

points your students should earn to show Mastery or Near Mastery. (ex. On a 3 point test, if a student

earns 3 points that could be reflective of a Mastery and 2 points could be reflective of near mastery,

anything below that would be considered remediation)

Click the orange Create Assessment button at the bottom once scoring decisions have been made.
