What is Mastery Learning?
aka Competency-Based Learning
Mastery Learning
Students advance through a course based upon their mastery of designated standards (competencies), regardless of seat time.
Key Features of Mastery Learning
1 Curriculum design hinges on assessments.
2 Assessments may take any form as long as they determine proficiency (mastery).
3 Progression to the next unit/grade is contingent upon demonstrating mastery of a standard.
Key Features of Mastery Learning
4 Curriculum is committed to the success of all students; students are not “allowed” to give up.
Why Mastery Learning?
"As long as a student logs the necessary hours and receives a passing grade, he can move on to the next course, regardless of gaps in his understanding. And a passing grade may be based in part on non-academic factors like attendance, extra credit, and good behavior, rather than demonstration of mastery."
