Elements of Mastery-Based Learning
The elements of Mastery-Based Learning.
What Are Flexible Pathways for Learning?
Personalized learning pathways empower students to pursue their passions while encouraging them to take more responsibility for their education. Students work with their teachers to blend a variety of educational experiences that satisfy graduation competencies and meet state-required standards, such as career-and-technical, college-level, and online courses, in addition to internships, apprenticeships, and volunteer opportunities that are intentionally designed to integrate with a student’s academic learning.
Most of the following Connecticut schools and districts are members of the League of Innovative Schools (LIS) and are engaged in Mastery-Based Learning. LIS is a regional professional learning community for secondary schools committed to educational equity, student-centered learning and ongoing improvement.
Student Success Plan - Mastery-Based Learning
A student success plan, also called a personalized learning plan, means a plan developed on behalf of a student by the student, a representative of the school, and, if the student is a minor, the student’s parents or a legal guardian, and updated at least annually.
Student Voice and Choice - Mastery-Based Learning
In education, student voice refers to the values, opinions, beliefs, perspectives, and cultural backgrounds of individual students and groups of students in a school, and to instructional approaches and techniques that are based on student choices, interests, passions, and ambitions.
Standards vs. Competencies - Mastery-Based Learning
Standards are the responsibility of the State Board of Education. Standards are proposed by the Connecticut Department of Education and adopted by the State Board of Education. Competencies are the knowledge, skills, and/or behaviors students must master in specific content or performance areas according to the OLD Foundation.
