Tracking Your Progress

This page explains how outcome mastery, trends, and confidence work in ILS.

What mastery means

  • Mastery is a normalized score for a learning outcome.
  • It is based on graded submissions and rubric evidence.
  • A higher mastery score means stronger performance on that learning goal.

What outcomes are

  • Outcomes are learning goals or competencies.
  • Each outcome may be linked to multiple assignments and rubric criteria.
  • Your progress is tracked separately for each outcome.

Sample progress view

| Outcome | Mastery | Trend | Confidence | |---|---|---| | Algebra reasoning | 8.0 | Up | High | | Data interpretation | 6.2 | Flat | Medium | | Argument writing | 5.0 | Down | Low |

How to read your progress

  • Up + High confidence: keep doing what worked.
  • Flat + Medium confidence: reinforce the outcome with targeted practice.
  • Down + Low confidence: review recent feedback and ask your teacher for help.

Using the progress report

  • Look for outcomes where your mastery is improving.
  • Review trends to see whether your performance is rising or falling.
  • Use outcome feedback to know what to focus on next.

Practical advice

  • If a trend is down, ask your teacher for specific guidance.
  • If confidence is low, keep working on the same outcome to build consistency.
  • Focus on the lowest outcomes first, then strengthen the highest ones.

Example student action plan

  • Identify one outcome with Low mastery.
  • Review teacher feedback for that outcome.
  • Set a specific goal for the next assignment.
  • Check your progress again after the next snapshot.
