Retain some of the very useful features of Missions

Hi Jon,

Thanks so much for this detailed feedback! Feedback like this is really useful for us as we continue to improve the Course Mastery system.

There is not currently a replacement available for this feature on the Parent Dashboard. However, you can access Course Mastery progress statistics using the classroom tools. These tools are geared towards classrooms with multiple students, but you can still use them with only one student as a workaround until new reports are available for parents.

To do this, you'll need to visit the Teacher Dashboard and create a class. You will then need to enroll your daughter in your classroom by having her enter the class code on her account. You can then create Mastery Goals for her to work on, and view her progress under the Progress tab in your class. There is an explanation of the Progress report available here. Using this feature, you can view her overall mastery in the course, her mastery in specific units, and see which skills she is struggling with.

I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any additional questions!

HI Evan,

Thanks for the response.  I followed the steps outlined.  The course mastery progress in the teacher's dashboard gives me what I need.   Thank you!   I also like that I can give her assignments.   I'll have to figure out the right balance there over time, but it worked out ok tonight.   

Hey Evan!
But how can some self learner access that teacher dashboard and stuff! Somewhat unnecesarily complicated.

And also, we (i.e. your team) should probably create a post for those requesting missions retention, and remove the old and redundant posts on that matter.... as, the forum is literally filled with such posts rn.

I don't think that they should do all of these upgrades. I've used Khan for four years, and I've seen a lot of upgrades that I agree with. But I don't think that they should get rid of the missions. 

I've been here for 8-9 years, learning, growing.  My "mission" has been to complete all the Math boxes, I'm currently up to 59%.  I have many retired badges.   I have completed up to 89 consecutive days.  I tutor people in math that are in high school, those that want their GED, and others that love math.  If there is not going to be something to replace the "missions" page, which I have grown to love, then I think it's time for me to move on from Khan Academy.  

I like Missions and how they easily show the number of skills available and mastered (and in between).

For my 6th gr math classes, students must master 15 skills (of their choosing, within the 6th Gr Mission) each month.  It is easy for me to quickly gauge their progress by going to a report that shows me the progress of all my students on a single page (Course Mastery Progress).

So, I like and wish Khan would retain the ability for me to easily see progress of my whole class on a single page, as well as show me somewhere exactly which skills are in the Mission or Mastery.

Also, is there somewhere I can see (and print out a list of) all the skills that are in the new "6th Grade Mastery?"  At the moment I don't know how to do this and so the exact content (down to an individual skill level) is a black hole or Bermude Triangle.

Thanks.

I have also had quite a few badges "retire" on me, as well. And i hope Sal changes his mind about those Masteries.

I too wrote in about my concern over losing the grid, it's a great motivator.

this is the video i made highlighting the good interface options of missions:
