Resources for Students, Parents, and Communities
In a Mastery-Based Learning environment, students demonstrate mastery based on competencies and performance standards built from the Connecticut Core Standards and Connecticut Content Standards (social studies, arts, science, and career and technical education).
Scoring Criteria - Mastery-Based Learning
Mastery-Based Learning requires a means of assessment where students can view learning as a process and use problem-solving strategies to meet or exceed learning expectations. Scoring guides have been implemented into today’s classrooms to give students a better understanding of what is being assessed, what criteria grades are based upon, and what clear and compelling learning targets are addressed.
Summative Assessment - Mastery-Based Learning
The goal of summative assessment is to evaluate student learning at the end of an instructional unit by comparing it against some standard or benchmark.
Instruction - Mastery-Based Learning
There are many similarities between traditional classroom instruction and instruction in a mastery-based learning classroom. In both, there will be a need for direct instruction at times. Both approaches depend on defining the desired results. However, there are also differences.
