DTL Spotlight

Your students took a test in Mastery and now you're ready to drill down for more information. You can change the view in Mastery Connect on the trackers. The current view set is Maximum value. A view option that may make more sense for your classroom is Most Recent (this is the most recent test given scored) where as Maximum is the greatest value EVER earned by the student.

Other views are Decaying Average (this has the cut scores added and allows for teachers to see how students are doing over time). The final view is to separate the students by Mastery, Near Mastery and Remediation.

Please see the attached video for a quick tutorial on how to change the Mastery Tracker view.

summary of the engaged citizen characteristic from the Jordan Portrait of a Graduate

The "Portrait of a Graduate" from the Jordan School District emphasizes the importance of developing well-rounded graduates who are prepared for real-world challenges. For the month of November we are focused on the "Engaged Citizen" characteristic, which involves contributing meaningfully to society by staying informed, participating in public affairs, and serving others. One way to focus on building engaged citizens in your class with Adobe Express is building a strong sense of community within your classroom.

Community building is crucial for student success, whether you're preparing for back to school or fostering connections mid-year. Students thrive when they feel valued, heard, and understood, making it essential to cultivate a warm and empowering classroom environment.
