Why some subjects show Readiness and others show Mastery

Not every subject is measured the same way, and that's by design. A subject tied to a high‑stakes end‑of‑course (EOC) exam is read differently from one you're tracking for general mastery. Derivita Analytics shows a subject in one of three ways, and knowing which you're looking at tells you what the numbers mean.

The three types

1. Subjects with an end‑of‑course blueprint → Readiness

When a subject has an EOC exam blueprint, the platform can answer "how ready are these students for the exam?"

  • Shows Readiness = attainment × coverage (mastery of what's been taught, scaled by how much of the blueprint has been taught so far).
  • Carries a BLUEPRINT badge, a coverage figure, impact‑scored Standards Needing Attention, and a reteach story.
  • This is the subject that drives the district → school → PLC → teacher readiness narrative.

→ What is Blueprint Readiness?

2. Subjects without a blueprint → Average Mastery

Some subjects don't have an EOC blueprint to be "ready" for. For those, instead of Readiness you see:

  • Average Mastery — how well students have mastered the standards that have been assessed.
  • No Readiness, coverage, or gap flags — those only make sense against a blueprint.

You can still see mastery and drill into standards; the subject just doesn't carry an end‑of‑course readiness story.

3. Practice / homework‑only courses → Activity

A course with practice or homework but no standards‑aligned assessments yet shows:

  • Practice assignments and activity (questions/day, standards practiced).
  • No mastery or readiness columns — there's no assessment data to summarize yet.
How to tell them apart
You see… The subject… Read it as
BLUEPRINT badge + Readiness + Coverage has an end‑of‑course blueprint Readiness for the exam
"Average Mastery" (no badge, no coverage) has no blueprint Mastery of what's been assessed
"Practice only" / practice‑assignment counts has no assessments yet Engagement/activity, no scores yet
Why it works this way

Readiness only means something against a defined exam blueprint — a weighted set of standards students will be tested on. Where you have that (typically your EOC subjects), you get the full readiness‑and‑reteach picture. Where you don't, mastery of what's been assessed is the honest, useful measure. Same data, read at the right altitude for each subject.
