How to use Curriculum Compacting and understand its results
- Prepare the lesson timeline, roster, observations or assessment labels requested. Use consistent units and exact identifiers, then choose comparison criteria appropriate to the activity.
- Enter studentIds, pretestScores, masteryCutoff using the field table and calculation rules, then run the tool.
- Read compactIds, reteachIds, compactionPercent. The explanation below defines the units, signs, ordering and any flags or placeholder values.
- If the tool reports an input issue, correct the values and run it again. Apply the stated assumptions when interpreting a successfully returned result.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type; see rules below | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| studentIds | Student ids | list of string | Required |
| pretestScores | Pretest scores | list of number | Required |
| masteryCutoff | Mastery cutoff | number | Required |
Enter unique nonempty exact learner IDs, aligned pretest percentages and cutoff in 0–100. Return compact/reteach lists preserving roster order and percentage classified compact.
compact=score≥cutoff; percentage=100 compactCount/rosterSize Units, indexing, boundary conditions and exceptional cases are defined in the calculation rules above.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| compactIds | Compact ids | list of string |
| reteachIds | Reteach ids | list of string |
| compactionPercent | Compaction percent | number |

}Limitations and assumptions
Despite the summary’s objective wording, outputs classify learners from one score each. Objective-level mastery, replacement activities and suitability for compacting are not assessed.
Numeric inputs must be finite. Follow the calculation-specific rules for overflow, underflow and exceptional cases. Lists are limited to 100,000 entries; the rules above may require smaller limits. Missing required fields, extra fields, wrong value types and violations of the calculation rules are input errors.
