Pacing Guide Coverage Versus Mastery Tension Lookup

Actual coverage versus independently known mastery ledger; unknown is not failed, neither curriculum compacting nor mastery retry tracker. Caller independently verifies learner/context/evidence and reference edition; not causal learning efficacy, disability eligibility or educational certification.

Description

Curriculum coverage records whether an objective was addressed, whereas mastery needs separate evidence of learning.

Curriculum coverage records whether an objective was addressed, whereas mastery needs separate evidence of learning.^[1]

This ledger preserves unknown mastery alongside known unfinished learning and uncovered objectives.

When to use Pacing Guide Coverage Versus Mastery Tension Lookup

Use this tool to calculate or review the supplied observations under the stated rules. Establish the learning task, observed evidence and applicable framework or policy edition.

How to use Pacing Guide Coverage Versus Mastery Tension Lookup and understand its results

Establish the learning task, observed evidence and applicable framework or policy edition.
Enter callerObjectiveIds, observedCoveredFlags, independentlyObservedMasteryFlags, knownMasteryFlags, using the field meanings and rules below, then run the tool.
Read coveredButKnownUnmasteredIds, coveredButUnknownMasteryIds, uncoveredObjectiveIds. Inspect nested result fields where present, and review unknown records separately from known matches.
Correct any reported input issue and run again. Before using a successful result, check the stated units, signs, reference scope and observation coverage.

Input field	Meaning	Value type	Requirement
callerObjectiveIds	Caller objective ids	list of string	Required
observedCoveredFlags	Observed covered flags	list of number	Required
independentlyObservedMasteryFlags	Independently observed mastery flags	list of number	Required
knownMasteryFlags	Known mastery flags; binary 1 means the matched observation is known, 0 means unknown	list of number	Required

Use unique objective IDs and three aligned binary arrays: coverage, mastery and mastery-known flags. Separate covered known unmastered objectives, covered unknown mastery, and uncovered objectives. Unknown mastery is not a failure; an uncovered objective remains in the uncovered group regardless of the mastery fields.

coveredUnmastered=covered∧known∧¬mastered; coveredUnknown=covered∧¬known; uncovered=¬covered

Use the matching field units and the exact boundary, ordering and reference rules above.

Output field	Meaning	Value type
coveredButKnownUnmasteredIds	Covered but known unmastered ids	list of string
coveredButUnknownMasteryIds	Covered but unknown mastery ids; unresolved records kept separate from known results	list of string
uncoveredObjectiveIds	Uncovered objective ids	list of string

Limitations and assumptions

Supplied annotations and framework choices determine the result. The tool does not measure learning effects, assess learner intent or independently establish policy applicability.

Missing required fields, unknown fields, wrong types and violated rules return input issues. Numeric values and outputs must be finite. Lists and matrices must be dense, without missing cells. Numeric lists allow at most 10000 entries; ordinary string lists allow at most 128 strings of 128 UTF-16 units each; numeric matrices allow at most 128 rows and 128 columns, subject to narrower requirements above.
