The Mastery Learning Handbook - A Competency-Based Approach to Student Achievment

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 student's 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.

Revised and Updated - Flip Your Classroom: Reach Every Student in Every Class Every Day

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, Jon 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 they found was that their students demonstrated a deeper understanding of the material than ever before. This is the authors’ story, updated and expanded, to ensure it’s as relevant to your classroom as ever.

Loaded with powerful stories from teachers across curriculum and grade levels as well as technology coordinators and professional learning specialists who share how they were able to go deeper into content, Flipped Learning will once again turn your expectations upside-down and fuel your excitement for teaching and learning.

These stories share how to apply flipped learning techniques to:

Solving the Problem of Homework by Flipping the Learning

In Solving the Homework Problem by Flipping the Learning, Jonathan Bergmann, the co-founder of the flipped learning concept, shows you how. The book outlines

• why traditional homework causes dread and frustration for students,
• how flipped learning—completing the harder or more analytical aspects of learning in class as opposed to having students do it on their own—improves student learning, and
• how teachers can create flipped assignments that both engage students and advance student learning.

Bergmann introduces the idea of flipped videos, and provides step-by-step guidance to make them effective. The book also includes useful forms, a student survey, and a sample letter to send to parents explaining the flipped learning concept.

You want your students to learn, and your students want learning to be accessible. With that in mind, read through these pages, flip the learning in your classroom, and watch students get excited about homework!
