This summer the Mastery Collaborative was hosted by Turnitin to present on mastery. The MC talked with MC Mentor Ashley Ferrara from Active Member school the Academy for Software Engineering about how mastery based and culturally responsive shifts can be more responsive to students, particularly in a remote environment.
Check out this hourlong conversation below.
The 5 Key Shifts are heavily informed by www.competencyworks.org’s definition of competency education. We believe that each shift represents a youth centered approach to learning—and also requires significant changes in roles and power dynamics, for both educators and learners.
Our pacing shift differs from that of the field at large, valuing responsive pacing more than asynchronous pacing, because we see collaboration and interaction as vital aspects of the learning process.
