Each quarter, we share what we’re working on to enhance Mastery so you can see how your input is shaping what comes next. At the heart of every roadmap decision is a simple question: how does this help students succeed?
That focus is shaping the work you’ll see in the Mastery Collaborative Roadmap. Through ongoing feedback and conversations with educators and district leaders, three priorities have emerged:
- Creating a more modern, accessible Mastery Connect experience so every educator and student can confidently navigate the platform and complete core workflows.
- Delivering clearer insights and stronger assessment content to help educators identify learning gaps earlier and plan instruction with confidence.
- Strengthening benchmarking oversight for district and school leaders so teams can track progress, coordinate responsibilities, and stay on schedule during key assessment windows.
These priorities reflect a shared goal across classrooms and districts: ensuring educators have tools that are clear, reliable, and actionable in the moments when instructional decisions matter most.
Your feedback has shaped the roadmap
This roadmap is the result of an ongoing partnership with you, our K12 customers, including dozens of recent conversations with teachers and administrators who have generously shared how Mastery is working in their districts and where it can do more. We truly appreciate the time, honesty, and specificity you’ve brought to those discussions and are excited to share how your input has directly shaped our next steps.
In talking with many of you, a few themes consistently came up:
- Ease of use and intuitive product experiences remain top priorities, and we can continue to improve.
- Predictive insights need to be clear and actionable within Mastery Connect, while still supporting familiar CSV and PDF exports.
- District leaders need reliable ways to measure growth over time across benchmarks and state assessments.
- Districts want rigorous assessment content that aligns to local pacing, including support for early grades and science.
- Clear visualizations make trends and performance gaps easier to identify.
- Educators want student-level insight across multiple assessments.
- Strong onboarding and consistent data mapping are critical for successful implementation.
We’re deepening our efforts to co-create Mastery products with you through a new Customer Scoring and Reporting Advisory Council, alongside our Mastery Item Review Panel for the 2026–2027 school year. If you’re interested in helping shape scoring, reporting, and content decisions before broad release, we’d love for you to apply. Learn more here.
Roadmap outcomes we’re driving toward
Our roadmap reflects all of what we’ve been hearing and boils down to three outcomes for Mastery.
1: A more modern and accessible Mastery Connect experience
Accessibility has long been a key priority for the Mastery team. In April, Mastery Connect will be fully accessible, backed by a conformant VPAT, marking an important milestone in that commitment. Next, we are building on that foundation in alignment to customer usability feedback by modernizing and improving accessibility across the educator workflows that power instruction, assessment, and performance tracking.
What we’re focused on:
- Modernizing Curriculum Maps to improve planning and resource organization
- Refreshing the Assessment Index to simplify assessment management
- Streamlining the Mastery Tracker to make grading and progress monitoring more efficient
- Delivering a fully accessible Mastery Connect educator experience backed by a conformant VPAT
2: Clearer insights and stronger assessment content
Educators are constantly telling us that truly reliable insights and rigorous, standards-aligned assessment content are critical to helping them identify gaps early and guide intervention to support improved learning outcomes.
What we’re focused on:
- Expanding the availability of Mastery Predictive Assessments as an add-on to Mastery Connect to 40 states
- Making predictive data available within Mastery Analytics so it is easier to interpret and apply to instructional planning
- Automating cut score exports for clearer performance alignment
- Visualizing third-party assessment insights in Mastery Connect through Mastery State & National Assessment Insights
- Expanding the Mastery Item Bank in K–2 and Science to strengthen early learning coverage and broaden subject-area rigor
3: Stronger benchmarking oversight for district and school leaders
Administrators need dependable visibility into benchmark progress and better ways to coordinate responsibilities across teams to keep assessment windows on track.
What we’re focused on:
- Enabling school-wide benchmark progress tracking
- Supporting task delegation to streamline benchmark administration
- Improving clarity and reliability in benchmarking workflows
