Introducing Classworks Mastery Measurement: A New IEP Progress Monitoring Tool

January 16, 2025

You have a new progress monitoring tool in Classworks–Mastery Measurement, powered by Wittly™! Now you can easily track students' progress on the specific skills and objectives in their reading and math IEP goals.

What is Mastery Measurement?

Mastery Measurement is a progress monitoring approach that helps teachers assess proficiency in specific academic skills. This targeted method allows educators to track progress on single, discrete skills related to students’ IEPs.

How It Works

Classworks Mastery Measurement leverages Wittly, our AI teaching and learning assistant, to create and deliver short skill-specific probes tailored to students' interests and language preferences. Wittly offers a personalized approach to monitoring progress. Wittly tailors probes to students’ personal interests–whether that’s sports, animals, or pop stars. Plus, Wittly’s ability to adapt to language preferences, such as generating questions in Spanish for native Spanish speakers, ensures that language barriers don’t interfere with accurate skill assessment. This personalized approach results in students being motivated and engaged to do their best, and teachers have accurate, detailed data about skill progress. 

Wittly uses Human-in-the-Loop AI technology, which means it’s teacher-guided and directed. What would typically take hours of manual work happens in seconds, making it easier than ever for educators to support their diverse learners.

As students complete their weekly probes, you gain detailed data on discrete reading and math skills and IEP-related objectives. Plus, students and parents have their own data dashboard to track progress. 

To effectively use Mastery Measurement:

  • Select specific skills aligned with IEP goals
  • Use natural language prompts to have Wittly generate probes
  • Establish clear mastery criteria
  • Monitor progress data weekly
  • Adjust instruction based on student performance

Creating Topic Prompts: The Power of Wittly

You’ll want to see the magic of Wittly for yourself! Tell Wittly what you need in everyday language, and watch as it instantly generates custom skill probes for your IEP monitoring. What used to take hours now happens in moments. 

Now it’s your turn! Try one of these five common topic prompts to generate probes with Mastery Measurement.

  • Generate one-step story problems involving repeated addition up to 5 * 5. Incorporate the student’s interests including Taylor Swift and basketball.
  • Generate whole number addition and subtraction expressions with one variable. Ask the student to substitute the value for the variable correctly. Use dinosaur facts and read them in a fun pirate voice.
  • Create short passages and ask comprehension questions about main idea and detail. Incorporate the student’s interest in soccer and geography.
  • Generate brief texts at 3rd-grade reading level, two sentences long, including details that provide context. Replace one word with a blank. Ask the student to select the word that best fits in the blank from four choices.
  • Generate three-digit addition problems, a combination of word and computation problems. The student is a native Spanish speaker, so we want the questions in Spanish. Incorporate Pokémon and marine biology.

We’re already getting great feedback from special educators about how Wittly is automating their processes and creating an engaging student experience! What would typically take hours of manual work happens in seconds, making it easier than ever for you to personalize learning for your students.
