Mastery learning is an instructional approach that empowers every student to progress with confidence. Using flexible pacing and targeted supports, teachers guide students through a cyclic process of preparation, demonstration, and formative feedback until there is a mutual agreement between teacher and student that the student is ready to advance.In this book, educator Jonathan Bergmann, a pioneer of the flipped classroom movement, walks you step by step through the mastery learning cycle, explaining what it entails and providing the templates, models, and rubrics you need to start using it in your own classroom. You'll learn how to Set meaningful, measurable, and transferable learning objectives that target essential knowledge, skills, and dispositions. Develop a mastery rubric to check for student levels of proficiency. Create an assessment plan that ensures positive learning experiences for all. Plan and deliver units that incorporate both time-shifted direct instruction and collaborative application activities within the classroom space. Provide timely differentiated support, based on students' individual learning needs. Informed by trial and error in his own classroom and by discussions with other expert practitioners, Bergmann shares commonsense solutions to the major challenges of mastery learning implementation: everything from how to manage pacing to how to create multiple versions of tests, determine grades, and get stakeholder buy-in. The Mastery Learning Handbook is both an introduction to this exciting instructional approach and a practical resource that K-12 teachers can turn to again and again. See for yourself just how effective, enjoyable, and transformative mastery learning can be.

It started with a simple observation: Students need their teachers present to answer questions or to provide help if they get stuck on an assignment; they don’t need their teachers present to listen to a lecture or review content. From there, Jonathan Bergmann and Aaron Sams began the flipped classroom: Students watched recorded lectures for homework and completed their assignments, labs, and tests in class with their teacher available. What Bergmann and Sams found was that their students demonstrated a deeper understanding of the material than ever before. This is the authors’ story, and they’re confident it can be yours too. Learn what a flipped classroom is and why it works, and get the information you need to flip a classroom. You’ll also learn the flipped mastery model, where students learn at their own pace, furthering opportunities for personalized education. This simple concept is easily replicable in any classroom, doesn’t cost much to implement, and helps foster self-directed learning. Once you flip, you won’t want to go back! Features include: An argument for and overview of the flipped and flipped mastery classrooms. The logistics of conducting a flipped classroom, from the equipment needed to create videos to what to do during class to student assessment. An FAQ section that addresses computer access, administrator buy-in, and making sure students are reliably accessing content on their own time.
