perfect. Alright. Well, good morning, everyone. Thanks so much for joining us. I'm
pleased to be here with you all today. My name is Karen Bishop.
I am a part of mastery. Connect here. So I work for
mastery. Connect, Adam Structure. I've been working with your district
on its implementation of mastery, connect and really excited to take the
opportunity to share a bit about master can, Actually the
lens of a school administrator. So hopefully
that's what you're here to learn about. Today. We're going to really kind of
dive into some of the more school specific features of
mastery, connect some of the formative assessment features, and I'm really excited
as well. Toe Have Nicole Harriet on the line from Manatee Bay
Elementary to share Ah, a bit about her school's
experience with mastery. Connect. Nicole, Do you wanna say hello or
introduce yourself real quick?
Sorry. Having some technical difficulties here. Hello. My
name is Nicole Harriet. I'm the school counselor at Manatee Bay Elementary.
Awesome. Thanks to coal. And here's our agenda for today. Did some
quick introductions. I'm going Thio walk through a little
bit of background about Master connect in the its model which we'll talk about here in
just a second. I'll do a quick kind of overview
of some of the school features in Mastery Connect. And then Nicole is
going to share examples from her school and how they have used mastery
Connect there. So it's model, Um, as we
are going through this today, I encourage you just to kind of keep this in the back of your
mind. Mastery Connect was really
designed for this process of really
identifying targeting in self evaluating through the learning
cycle. So what I mean by that is at the teacher level, that might
mean identifying student levels of understanding so we can
target them for remediation specific levels of
intervention and then self evaluate our teaching practice on
but the administrator level. That might be a little more zoomed out where we can
identify grade levels, subject areas.
Teachers that might need some additional support or resource is
target them with those. Resource is with that additional support
and then self evaluate how those new strategies,
uh, you know, have worked. Are we seeing the growth that we want to
see with our students? And this is really why mastery
connect was started. This is at the core of all of our
assessment features, all of our tools, all of our reports. And we're
going to kind of see this here in action as I walk
through my actual mastery connect account. So I'm just gonna switch
gears and pull up my account for you all.
Hopefully, you're now seeing me here in my mastery connect account.
Zoom in a little for you guys, and I'm going to start actually from
an Adnan perspective. Now, if your school
gave the B s a assessment, maybe you've looked at
some of these features. Maybe you're familiar with some of these reports. I'm
here in my admin tab and I am looking at a
benchmark report, so that would be like the B s A for you, all for
my specific school. So I am seeing for this
particular assessment that we gave each
standard that was covered. And how are students across the whole
building did on that benchmark So I can see the standards
that we did pretty well on the standards that maybe we struggled a bit more and
I could begin to identify those areas that I know we need to put some
focus as a as an entire team, as an entire building.
As I scroll down here, I'm going to see that breakdown, then by teacher
that gave this benchmark. So now I'm seeing
Okay, Mrs Garcia, she did a great job
with six r p. A one. Her students did a really good job on that
particular standard on the benchmark on the B s. A.
Maybe I have her work a bit with Miss Davis. Maybe we
do a PLC where we talk specifically about the standard and she leads
some of the strategies she used to teach that standard. I'm sure you all can think of
a lot of other different examples, but the idea is you can see that breakdown and
begin toe leverage. Um, you know your teachers, you can provide the support they
need. You can see to that. Six r. P. A. Three was was still a big
challenge from Mrs Garcia. So that's an area might identify and work
with her a bit on. So
that is like I said for a particular assessment, we give how we did
across our building and one thing that I like to is I can actually narrow this
down by a lot of other filters and information up here at the top.
So this report is filtering ble by demographic data that we pull in from your
S I s I can also click on these
particular bars for any of these standards and actually see the names of the
students that fall into those groups. Those
mastery levels. I can also see who their teacher
is s O. This gives me, ah, way to maybe group students and begin
to identify specific students we need to work with.
Now that is like I said, for one assessment, you also have another report in
your admin tab. If you go to admin reporting overview
where you're going to see more holistic of all
assessments that teachers air giving in mastery, connect how are we
doing? So this is not just one specific assessment. This is
actually pulling data from any formative assessments that
teachers may have given in mastery connect. And I'm going to be able
to see this kind of doughnut of mastery showing me
Have my students mastered these standards for math,
for example. I can even drill down further And maybe I just
wanna look at one particular grade level here or one
particular standard in that grade level. But for
now, I'm just kind of seeing, like, overall, in math, how are we doing?
And what is the percentage of standards
assessed? Maybe I expect my
teachers to have assessed almost 50% of the standards at this point in the year. And
we're not showing that in this data
I can also scroll down and see the grade levels below. There. I can click
into those grade levels and then see that by teacher as
well. So, again, this is for all assessments. Gives me a little
kind of broader picture of how we're doing towards mastery on those standards
for my school.
So we're gonna take a moment to back up here and let's talk about maybe the
mechanics more of how you conduce this, right? We saw some great data in
here, but how would my teachers do this? How do we begin toe
utilize this, uh, kind of in our buildings. And I should
have said at the beginning to, um if you have questions, feel free to put them in
the chat and We'll also save about 15 minutes at the end
for Q and A So, um, if you wanna put them in the chat now so
that you know, you don't forget them, by all means, go for it and we'll be sure to address those
already. So I'm gonna transition now and now I'm looking at my mastery connect
account from a teacher view. So I am in what we call a
tracker in mastery. Connect. Um, you might have
noticed a swell. I didn't point this out, but I'm actually just here in my canvas
account popped in the mastery connect. And as a teacher, I
am now able to see my trackers for my classes. Now, the
track are for teachers is really home base, right? This is where I see
all of my students for a particular class. All of the standards
I plan to cover in that class across the top,
and then I'm getting this data breakdown of whether or not my students have
mastered that standard. Based on the various assessments I've given,
most of your teachers most likely have trackers set up for the
B s. A. In order to deliver that B s a teachers had to
have a tracker set up with those standards and that benchmark
assessment populated into their tracker, just like this one did here.
Once I've given an assessment like the B s A. As a teacher, I can also
click in to the benchmark and see what I believe. A lot of you
in Broward call the Skittles chart. So I'm seeing each standard that
was covered on that benchmark This benchmark only have three standards,
Um, maybe for you, while they be seeing many more standards here for this
assessment. And then I'm seeing the mastery levels in the
point values for each standard on that benchmark.
And again, you can see that six r p a. Three was a real challenge for my
students. So I'm not now just seeing an overall score. I'm
able to see a more granular level of where I need to focus my
instruction moving forward.
All right, So how do I begin to assess my students more formative Lee in
the classroom? Right. So that's that benchmark. But what if I want to
give my own kind of exit tickets or common assessments in my building?
Maybe some of your teachers have done this. I have one assessment
here that I'll pull up for you all to see, just as an example,
or I have just kind of five questions here
that students will need to answer. I can, of course,
give this online right. Students can take this via canvas. They can
go online to student mastery, connect dot com or the
student portal and take this. Or if I
wanted, I have a couple other options for how I can actually assess my
students in the classroom. I know that
paper pencil is not something that we're doing in this current
world, um, as we're teaching remotely.
But I do just want to point this out. So you all know that it's an option
for when we are back with our students in person,
you can print bubble sheets for a assessment like this. So if it's like a
quick you know, exit ticket, like I
said, a five question assessment that I just want to kind of get that
quick check for understanding from my students. I can print these bubble
sheets they're gonna pre populate with my student 90 numbers.
I can blow these up for younger kids so you can actually make them
bigger on. They'll still work How? I'm going to show you and
students can bubble them in. You also can eliminate
these or put them in sheet protectors. And students can reuse them with these severe
expo markers. Okay, Once I've done
that, I'm simply going to scan in their scores, which
will turn on my web camera here in the upper right hand corner. There I
am. And I'm just gonna hold up these answer sheets for my students.
Yeah,
and now right away. I have some immediate data for these students. Right?
Were able to identify in real time whether or not our students have
mastered these skills. I also have a student view here, so I
could have this pulled up in my classroom. Maybe I'm sitting with students one on one, and
we're able to do this together. Maybe I have a station in my room where
students can ease. This does work, of course, with my
documents or with my Web camera here, but also works with document cameras.
Elmo's ipads iPhones, Androids. So lots of
options to utilize this when we're back with our students in
person and you will have access to this right
now. In mastery Connect, you're able to do this scanning for
assessments up to 10 questions long. So it is intended for those more quick
checks and those things that teachers might be doing kind of day and day out in the
classroom. Now
from there, maybe I even want to sort my students by
mastery so I could begin to again identify those groups.
Wish of my students are still in that near mastery
group. Maybe I even want to work with those three students
that Aaron near mastery because I have 15 minutes. I wanna pull
them aside and do a quick reteach and see if I haven't bumped them to that
next level of mastery. And I can even document that
right here with a quick Ross. For
So a rock score is just a way Thio document mastery for
students without necessarily going through a formal assessment
process. Right? Sometimes we're just working with our students. Maybe
we're doing some whiteboard problems, and they're able to
show me through whatever that activity is that they have
either mastered the standard or not, and I can
add documentation. Of course, I can add notes as to what it is that we
did what I did with those students to
have them demonstrate mastery for me. I can even attach photo and
note evidence of student work and have that live right here with the
scores. Well, one thing you might
notice with that is I on Lee did that reteach
activity with three students. And it doesn't negatively impact
the students that didn't take this. This assessment this
reteach assessment, right? Master connect is intended to be
instructional. In that way, we want you to be able Thio, follow
that intervention process. Assessed students when it makes
sense. Mike has already demonstrated mastery of the standard. You got
a five out of five on that quiz. You know, I'm not going to necessarily
reassess him on this standard at this time, and that is okay.
Now, I know we have elementary folks on the line right now,
so I also want to give you just a couple more elementary, specific
examples. Uh, this is a different tracker. So this is a
tracker where I have the a dizzy reading levels across the
top here. So these live in mastery. Connect already. You can build a
tracker with these, and teachers can actually track these
skills these reading levels as skills within the
system and a couple examples of
assessments of how that might look. I'm going to go into Level E
here, and I have a couple assessments uploaded. You can use
checklist. You can use rubrics, anything that you might be doing where
you're kind of working with students. Um, one on one
observation. Aly, you can upload any sort of
checklist. I'm gonna pull up the performance greater here so you can see what this looks
like. Thes air behaviors and strategies.
When the students are reading and again, you'll notice this is just a
document I've uploaded here. We have a lot of these sort of
assessments already in the assessment community and
mastery connect as well. And on the left, I have my
students and on the right, I'm just keying in for each of these
criteria. Were they able to ah
demonstrate that strategy for me or not?
So as I go through here, I'm able Thio document this not
having to do this on sticky notes or piece of paper
e can score their assessment.
And now, when I go back to my tracker, not only do
I have that data log for that student, but I'm also able to
see this data more collectively for my whole
class. I can see each question
or each criteria that was on that checklist and if our
students were able to demonstrate it or not. And if I'm looking at this, I'm thinking
to myself, Wow, we need to revisit criteria to because
none of my students were able to do that on this
assessment. So now you're able to think about whole group instruction
where we need to kind of reteach on and kind of
dive into that a little deeper. I can also do this
for I can look at this data for a
whole team. So if we were a PLC team
or a data team or something like that and we all gave the
same assessment, I could see this report for all
teachers in my school, and now I'm going to get that item
analysis for everyone in this case, I on Lee. I have
given this assessment so you're seeing the same numbers, but I would see this item
analysis than broken down for more students based on our whole
team on. We can talk about this collectively in that PLC or
data talk meeting.
One final thing, I'm going to show you before I pass the mic over to
Nicole. I'm gonna go back to this tracker we looked at
initially on. And as as I just kind of
showed you, there's different ways you can get all of this formative assessment
data here into the system. And then I have my
benchmark my BSA. I think it's important for teachers to know and
for you all to know his administrators as well your tracker is is customizable.
Sometimes it's even just the simple act of being able to kind of re arrange
things so that it it's easier for you to view. You can kind of
move your benchmarks around and reorganize things if needed.
Once I have data in here and I have a benchmark is well,
I'm actually able to compare how my students did
standard by standard on my classroom
assessments toe how they did standard by standard on the B s.
A. So when I turned that on I now have
to mastery levels populating under each standard that this
benchmark covered and on the left hand side is how
students did on formative assessments I gave. And on the
right hand side is how they did on that benchmark assessment on that standard.
There's some areas where the cells are kind of great out because
students did, Um, there was there was no inconsistencies
there, right? So Victoria mastered six r p a two and I gave her an
assessment in my classroom, and she mastered it on the benchmark.
The I'd be looking at six r p a three and wondering Wow, you know, why did
my students, uh, master my assessment? And then they did poorly on the
B s. A. There's a lot of different things that could be going on here
first. Maybe they took the b s A. And I realized how poorly
they did. And I needed to then go in and reteach and reassess. And now
they're showing mastery. That's awesome. Or maybe these formative
assessments I gave her before the B s. A. And I thought my
students had mastered it, and then they took the B S A. And they did
not. So what does that tell me about my formative assessments or they not
rigorous enough? Did I teach the standard a long time ago
and not spiral into my lessons? Kind of. As we continued
on, I'm sure again, you all can think of many more
examples. But the idea here is bringing that those
pieces back together. And for teachers, this is really that a self
evaluate piece, right? Taking that benchmark
data, looking at it right next to our own classroom data and
beginning to think about what we're doing in the classroom where we need to go
next, all with the goal of helping our students move forward.
So with that, I am going thio pass the mic
over to Nicole on. Like I said, we will have
time at the end for questions. But, Nicole, all you
thank you. Hello, everyone again. I miss Nicole Harriet
from Manatee Bay Elementary on the school counselor. Uh, this is my
first year at Manatee Bay. Have been a school counselor for 14
years. Um, but this is the first time being at a school this
large, and with that
being directed that we would be doing be essays
on line through mastery. Connect was very nerve racking.
However, the process of training the teachers
and, um, communicating with
everyone from mastery connect Miss Rhonda, Um, everyone
from there it was amazing. It was It's a great experience because they
were very helpful. And the transition to use mastery connect was
great. Ah, couple of our fifth grade teachers were already utilizing
mastery connect eso It really came easy. At
least one teacher, 3rd, 4th and a couple on fifth had already been
utilizing all the different, um, assessments
and data from mastery connect building tests and
so on. So it was an easy transition to utilize it for B s
s especially
Okay, Um, the first thing that
was easy to use was the using the admin role, Um,
in order to to ensure that all the teachers had their trackers
on or that they had activate their activated their account. It was
easy for me to go in under admin and looked through. All managed the teachers to
see who may have missed something that they put all their trackers on. They
they even activate their accounts. Um, that was that
was good because then I could follow up with individual teachers teachers
versus, um you know, emailing them, asking them if they activated. And
I already knew if they were activated or not. So utilizing the
admin role was one of the plus being able to track which teachers
might have need some extra assistance and not I've gotten around to it. So before be
essays, we had the information ready to ensure
that, um, the teachers were ready for testing.
We could also going as the teacher. So, for example, a
couple of our teachers were out sick or something happened during B s.
A. And we were able to We were able
Thio, go in and, uh, initiate
their assessments the B s day. So we didn't have toe worry about. We put
another teacher in the classroom who was trained, and they were able to administer
the the assessment BSE
assessments with me opening the test for them and them getting the
trackers the kids were able to go in. So that was definitely a
plus. And so the kids could stay on schedule and the teachers would
be able to continue getting the data right
away. The feedback from the assessments.
Uh, this is one of the on the tracker.
I know that Ms. Bishop mentioned this, uh, they
had all the standards. And so the students, we would see the
students names and all the standards and how they did on all the standards. The teachers love
this because as they went through it, they were able to collect the data toe,
help them with seeing where they needed to focus for small groups. Um
uh, where which student might have needed help with any
if there was one student has to that they could meet with that student individually.
So this data was very helpful to the students,
the trackers with the, um, standards on it.
Okay. And she spoke about the Skittles shard again.
More data that could be used by the time we did this in
January. So by then there were groups already formed, and
this really made them see if they had students
in to help towards them Having students in the correct
group groups for for double dose and for r t I
and things like that. This definitely supported that or questioned. Okay.
What was going on here? Do I need toe um, have some time
with students specific students to see if it was just the
assessment or the data is skewed or whatever.
So they were able to use this information toe
address What's been going on up until January?
Like a meteor check in. Uh, then
our admin, uh, very big
on, uh, collecting data. So on
the dashboard for, um, excuse me for
student assessment and research. The dashboard gives us all
the data compares or data toe. Others, two schools, all the schools
that are there. So what? Our principal Did she use this
information for data chats? The teachers used the information
for PLC s, but also we were able to say, Wow, what
did the school in in our zone? They got this on
math. I wonder what they did differently. Maybe we can reach out to
them and have, you know, have a conversation that teachers could have some conversations
with their fifth grade teachers to see. What did they do differently for
math? You know, some check ins with the other schools to kind of help us to
improve. So it wasn't Just use this data at our
school. We could see what other schools data look like by grade
level and and see if their you know their data. Wow, What are they
doing over there? Let's let's call them and reach out and work with
them to see if it's something we could implement here in our school. So that was
definitely a plus to our administration's very data driven. So
the more data, the better, because it's able to either show you where
we need you need work at and at the midpoint, especially,
or where we can get more help or where we're doing very well. So we can
also provide positive feedback to the teachers. So the more
data, that kind of better it iss Nikolai wanted to chime in here.
I I love that example. You give about kind of
collaborating with other schools. And this came up last
week as well on our webinar with the secondary folks. So I
love that I been hearing about this from multiple schools. M Broward.
Uh, you know, we talk a lot about the collaboration around assessments and data, you
know, in our own building, but the power of being able to collaborate
with other schools that have data in the same place,
being able to see kind of how we all did and leverage each other's
strengths, you know, and learn from each other. In addition to that,
one of the things that maybe you all have done this nickel, I'm not sure. But
teachers can share assessments across the district to for if they
have any tried and true formative assessments, you know
they can. They can put those in the community they can share with each other. You can still keep them private
to Broward, but you can share them among schools, which I think is nice.
Uh, definitely. I think that might have been the
next slide. Oh, man, I I totally I totally
took your talking points so far. That court,
that's definitely yes, the assessments and
our teachers, not the ones that weren't weren't utilizing it
before be essays. Actually, after you after using it for be essays were
we're like, Oh, they wanted to really go in and check it out because they
realize how how much information you could get back and
getting the students, um, to to do a little online. Of course
we went, um, online learning and
virtual learning, so it was a little difficult. But I know after doing be essays through
mastery connect, a lot of the teachers were asking questions and and going to our
teachers that had been using it, um, to to see how to
go in and how to get a new assessment and how to assign the assessment
with the students where you can use you can develop your own
assessment. Or you can go into the assessment bank and get a new
assessment based on whatever standards you're working on and get that
feedback right away, especially for intermediate
students. So definitely it was a benefit. And
and as we learned MAWR and we get more information, the teachers were
really, uh, moving towards using mastery. Connect a lot
more to gather data and, you know, to see where students
are, even though I like the fact that they can even do quick assessments
like Ms Bishop was showing earlier, because sometimes it's
a exit ticket that would be just have them do it and
but mostly for intermediate students. We've utilized it. We haven't used
utilize that much for our primaries,
and I think that's it. Thank you,
Miss Bishop. Sorry, I was muted. I was
talking, and, you know, I was talking away and you guys couldn't hear me.
Um, yes. Thank you. Nicole. Thank you so much for for sharing your
experience. Really appreciate you taking the time to do so.
I see one question here in the chat will take some more questions
here. Um and, you know, maybe show a couple other things
based on these questions. Please don't be shy to put things in the chat
or, you know, we can call on you as well. If you If you have a
specific question, you want to speak out. So Madeline asked, Can we load
the journeys test? So all testing is in one place? Um, I'm
not familiar with the journeys test. Specifically, Is there additional
information that you can share on what it is? So the
curriculum, it's part of our one of our assessments that
we give throughout the year we give it in the beginning of the end of the year.
Um, I just was curious to see if the county
had loaded it already onto mastery connect, Or
is that something that I could go ahead and do myself
Yeah. So I don't want to speak. Of course. For
the district, I will say that you can put
assessments into mastery. Connect. So kind of like you're seeing here on the
slide that Nicole was talking about. If you have any
assessments that are, you know, we're documents or PDS, you can
simply upload them and deliver them through the system online or paper pencil.
You could, of course, recreate questions if you wanted. Um, I have
not specifically had any conversations with the district about the journeys test.
Um, specifically, But I do know that generally,
any assessments, you know, that you already have can be delivered through the
system. I don't know if anyone else on the line has any information on that. I
know we have a couple of folks from from the search.
Um, I just went into my account and search journeys, and there are
already in the community. A lot of them uploaded. Yeah.
Awesome. There you go. So it sounds like they might be in there already.
And friend, this is Rachel. Yeah. Hi, Rachel. I just wanted
thio chime in that That's probably ah, great
conversation for the
elementary and secondary learning department to
discuss. I think there's something about, you know, making sure
that, um, that copyright is followed. And I
don't know what the rules are about taking materials that
come from a purchased, uh, content provider and
just uploading them into mastery connect. There could be some concerns about making them
public inside of a, you know, the larger global community.
So I think Mawr direction will come from
innovative learning. Um, working with elementary
and secondary learning toe figure out best practices for using the curriculum
materials that exist. We do have those provided to
us by the publisher and canvas already. So I am
not saying it's not possible. I just think there are a few steps we might need to still figure out.
Absolutely. Thank you, Rachel. That makes sense. And I will just add to that
from from or, you know, as a as a teacher. If you have
anything, um, in your school, that maybe isn't,
you know, district wide. That that is copy written. Um, you do
have the ability to keep it private to your school. So as you're
uploading an assessment, you have these privacy settings, and that's what we
encourage people to do. Of course, if an assessment is copy
written, if you're going to share with the community, you do have to acknowledge Hey, this isn't
copy righted eso just a couple kind of security features there,
But but, yes, Rachel, that makes total sense. Thank you for you. Thank
you, Karen. So if we keep it private to our school in our school already has the right to
use it, then that seems like that is, ah, a solution that that would
work. Great. Yeah, exactly. I think another example of that is we have a lot
of schools that will upload, like their eureka math assessments, for example.
Right. They have those kind of end of unit quizzes and things. They could just
upload those, keep them private, and then they're getting all that great data in their tracker
alongside their other assessments that they're giving. So,
um, great question, Madeleine. Thank you
for, um, bringing that up,
Rachel, since you're on and you were just speaking Thank you for your help. Can you
chime in just what you had shared before? I know. Maybe we have some folks on the line
that are uncertain about the admin account. How do
I make sure that I have the admin account? Um, can you just speak a little bit
to the the protocol that you all have kind of as a district
around that in mastery Connect? Yep. I sure will.
Um, And I know Kimberly Shell is also on the call, So I'm gonna
ask her to maybe put some things into the chat window. Um, the
first thing if she can put the links in there, the first
thing is, um, that clever will
not work. Um, as an access point to mastery, connect
for school admin or coaches or specialists
Onley teachers that have rostered students are able currently
to access mastery, connect from clever. And so
what are the rest of the district will need to dio a school
admin. Like I said, our counselors that role you'll need to access
mastery, connect from ap dot mastery connect dot
com. And I even might be ableto open the chat as well. Sorry, I've got lots of
windows open here on, but put that in.
Um uh, I'm just gonna
type that in really quick. So this is the link that you would use in
order. Thio access,
Mastery, connect. If you get to
that that page and you either are unsure of
what password you needed to use or if you even have a password,
click the Forgot password link
and it will send you an email where you can reset
your password. This might be a different password than your
clever or active directory password, since for
school admin, they're not tied together.
Um, uh, the other thing I wanted to tell you is
that we have a reference course. Um,
well, first we have a reference page inside of our canvas. 123
Course that courses where all of the digital materials are
found. It's just gonna take me a second to get a couple of things up
and opened here toe paste in that link. And on that
page, there are step by step directions for how you and
your teachers can get started. And I'm just gonna link to that page. And
in addition, we have created a course just
about formative uses of mastery, connect, um,
in Broward and we have
ah, canvas employees who is dedicated to
Broward. Kimberly Shell, who can also support teachers and

Webinars this week. She has for the last couple of weeks, and
so that's a great resource as well. Um,
I'm sorry. I'm trying to get logged into things that's gonna take me just a second to type and
talk. So I will keep putting some links into the chat That will
help you, um, know how to get started and how to request an
account. There's a form if you don't have an account, or you can't get into that account
using forgot password that you can use to request that account. Hey,
Rachel, this is Kim. This is Kim Hye.
Just let you know I put in the link to the Google doc into
the chat. I don't know if you saw that. Perfect. Thank you. And I'm

I struggled to get logged into all the systems. This one?
Yeah, No problem. I got you. I got you,
Uh, him is our dedicated a mastery
connect, uh, program coordinator. And so
she's fully dedicated to helping schools get up and running with this. So
definitely reach out. Reach out to her. Awesome.
I'll put my email in the chat as well. Okay, Perfect. Thank you,
Kim. Thanks. Quran. Yeah. Thank you, Rachel. And can really appreciate
that one other thing I wanted to highlight, kind of as you were talking about that
Rachel in in your admin account once you have
admin, right? So if you're a principal and you get that admin
account, you then can basically deputize
other people in your school toe also have that school admin.
Right. So I think that Nicole spoke about this a little bit, But you
could, for example, have your instructional coaches
be school admin. Um, school counselors, for
example. Really? Any anyone that you want to have that more holistic view of
data, you can go in and actually edit their whole
to be the school admin. I have the district adamant option as well. Because I'm a
district admin. You all would not have that option. But, um, just so you know, you
can change that right there. Um, let's see
here. Other questions were kind of early on
time, which is you know, maybe we'll give you all a few extra minutes
in your day, but are there are other questions, You know, while you have
us, um, can really be anything that comes to
mind as you think about mastery, connect in your building. Um,
no silly questions. And as you're thinking
about it, I did think of one other resource I'll share. Well,
maybe some of you are typing some questions in the chat. Do know that in
every users mastery connect account, you have some help.
Resource is right at your fingertips. I actually highly recommend the online
PD courses, which are short topic specific
videos. Their like 125 minutes long, and they walk
through various features of using mastery connect.
So, um, example is, I don't know why mine isn't
going here checking my wife. I make sure I'm connected still,
But basically, you can You can search, for example, creating a tracker. And it gives
you a quick video on how to create a tracker. Um, they're broken into intermediate
introduction in the media. Advanced a great resource
for all of your teachers as well. It's a really good starting place
for any questions. they might have. And then as an admin, you also get
reports for your school. So let me going to school so you
can see this. You can actually see how much of the
videos your teachers have watched. So just another way to kind of
see which of your teachers is really diving into this. Which of your teachers
has watched these videos, and it's kind of, you know, getting their hands dirty with
some of the formative assessment features. Who hasn't, You know,
watch these yet. So just another kind of level of support
and information you have available to you. You also
have access to the help center, which is going to give you not videos. It's
going to give you more like step cards. So if you have, you know,
if you want kind of the pdf that walks you through step by step
on how to do different things, how toe, you know, upload assessments,
you conjunction and view those, uh, step guards
right here in the help center. A swell. So here's an example of one,
and these are nice because you can download those and share those out with with other
people. You can link them, uh, to, you know, send
out to your staff. Hey, you know, read this help article, and this is
also where you can submit a request to our technical
support team at Mastery Connect. So this would be more like,
if you're having an issue. You feel like something Maybe isn't working as you
expected it to where you're getting you. Just like, not sure really? How to go
about what you want to do. Um, this is this is a place. You can
come and submit that to her support team. And they have
a 24 hour or less response time, so you'll hear back from them very
quickly with answers to your questions. So just a couple other
layers of support you have in place. You wanna make sure you guys have all the resources you need.
Thio kind of get rocking and rolling with us.
Let's see no other
questions.
All right? Lisa can add mons. Use
the blue navigation to get to em. Sti
Yeah, in canvas Sound that we have it on our global navigation. Can
they use it directly from there, or do they still have to goto
mastery not connect that app. They can do it
right from here. So do they have your So you're saying the button is now live here
on the global? Yep. So it's when you click on
that, it will bring you right to your master comment account. So that's what
you're seeing here. It tasted to your home page? Uh, I don't
know. I know. I don't know if there's any
differences here for school admin versus teachers. I have to admit, I'm not sure how
that's working for you all for teachers since their Sainct, you
know, through clever and all of that. That's how I was curious. Yeah, that's what I was
curious because I don't know if it was different. It was just for teachers or
so, for example, I don't have a clever sync,
obviously. And basically, my accounts
have the same email address, my canvas account in my master connect account, and so they're linked
that way. So I would anticipate that it would work just fine for school
admin. Um, I just have not, you know, gone in specifically to your district to
test that I don't know if Rhonda is Rhonda. Still McCollum
of Rhonda or Rachel or anyone has any other information on
that? Yeah, It worked on my end. I tried it, but I'm not
sure it worked. This is Rhonda Wyman. It worked
on my into. I think I know you're probably asking about that for Rhonda Post,
but it does work for me as well. And I'm we're not
rostered with students, so,
yeah. Then that's
great news. That means that it should be good to go for all of you. Whether you're an
admin or teacher, you can just now put here and you never have
to type in Master Connect laptop master connect dot
com. I know Rachel had put that in there as a way to get there, but if
this button is now live for you, you should be able to do that. And real
quick. Um, this is for Rachel and Kim. I was going to
recommend that we could be course, um, that you guys
created in, um, canvas catalog. Is that a good
idea? Because I'm asking Martina. There's three other courses that we created
for summer training or, well, not summer training.
Online training. Um, can we push that one
up to catalog as well.
Yes, I think that would be a great thing to Dio. We'll need
Thio duplicate that course and then work with Martina to create the
catalog link. So I had
asked her to do that for three of my other courses. I didn't send them to her yet,
so yeah, that's easy to do That be a great way to keep
pushing, um, pushing people to learn more.
Correct. So should I make that copy before I send it to her?
Or How do you want me to do that? Because I haven't sent mine yet, either. I just
figured I'd include this one as well. I would I would always
tie catalog to a duplicate of a training
course, and so that's the best practice. But you can. If you want to talk
with Martina and myself about that, we can connect and and go through
those steps together. Yeah, Okay. Thank you. No
problem.
And that's that's again, just to reiterate. That's because we are
pushing teachers, um, to go to catalog for summer, you know,
because there's not a lot we're gonna be able to offer training wise, so we're kind of pushing them
to catalog. So the more courses we have in catalog available,
especially mastery, connect cause we wanna we wanna, you know, push
people towards that as their assessment tool.
Right?
Awesome. Well, um, if there are no other questions, we can go
ahead and wrap up a few minutes early. Here. I want to thank you all. Thank you so much for everyone's
time and for everyone that chipped in and was a part of this.
Thank you. Nicole. And Rachel and Kim and Rhonda and everyone.
Um, please let us know if you have any other questions. You have Tim's
