Create Mastery Map Template
Create a template to guid students through each learning decision selected in Step #1.
GUIDANCE
A. Determine What to Document
A "Mastery Map" is a (1) tool for communications between teacher and students and
(2) record of a student's decisions and progress.
For each decision your students will make about their learning (selected in previous step), consider the information they will need to KNOW and RECORD:
KNOW
Information they need in order to make the decision effectively:
-
Learning objectives they need to master
-
Data on what they know and don't know
-
Learning resources available
RECORD
The outcomes of their decisions and efforts:
-
Learning objective they'll work on next
-
Goal for mastering that learning objective
-
Reflections on their decisions
B. Create Template Sections
On a single document, create a clear, student-friendly section for each type of information the student will need to know or record (see full example HERE).
Use a different version of the Mastery Map Cycle (below) to see examples of Mastery Map elements for each phase of learning:
