District mastery settings (system admins)

Overview

Configure three additional settings to ensure consistency across buildings when using the district mastery solution. The settings are applied to all course sections that use learning objectives from your district mastery library.

Mastery Grading Scale

Choose a grading scale that automatically applies to all materials aligned to a district objective. If you change the mastery grading scale later, it will not override any existing grading scales.

Mastery Grade Settings

Choose a method to calculate observation scores for learning objectives. Parent objectives will use the average calculation method.

Decaying Average displays a score using a decay rate variable to determine the relative weight of the student's recent scores versus their earlier scores. This is the default calculation method used in Schoology's Mastery Settings, set at a decay rate of 75%.
Average displays the average score from all grades for that particular alignment.
Highest displays the highest of all grades for that particular alignment.

Optionally, specify the district's minimum number of observations required before an objective score is calculated. Teachers can assess a skill more times than the number set here.

Mastery Grade Display Settings

Choose the grading and grade book view options to display in the teacher's gradebook and grading workflows. Choose to display the features in the Standards-Based Gradebook, Student Mastery Gradebook, or both.
