For Teachers and Administrators

 

 

From the time students take their first spelling test until they graduate from college, they experience the pervasive educational structure of "Teach, Test and Forget." Educators, parents and students know this structure achieves only mediocre, temporary results - so why does it continue?

Knowledge Mastery is an assessment for learning system, based in Quality Management/Continuous Improvement.

  • Increases knowledge retention in any subject area    at all levels such as letter recognition, sight words, spelling, vocabulary, number recognition, content facts, geographic locations, math facts and math formulas etc...

  • Clearly communicates knowledge learning goals

  • Organizes a coherent, aligned curriculum to support the school's learning goals

  • Utilizes frequent, integrated, formative assessments that preview and review course content

  • Liberates each student's intrinsic motivation by empowering them to monitor and document their    own progress

  • Enables teachers and administrators to monitor and document student, class and school progress

  • Allows students and teachers to generate and test hypothesis about learning

  • Builds a team atmosphere as everyone works together to improve learning

  • Enables students to master the knowledge necessary to make connections, think deeply and solve real   world problems

  • Celebrates learning

No matter what the subject area, Knowledge Mastery overcomes "Teach, Test, and Forget" and cements    content knowledge efficiently and effectively to achieve     "J-Curve" results.

"Knowledge Maps™ and Learning Checks™ are great for review and preview of the curriculum, and      I can see when we actually begin applying the concepts from the Knowledge Map™ to the lesson each day, the kids "get it" so much better than before.”

 “A teaching veteran who adopted the Knowledge Mastery™ process found that when he knew exactly what the students were supposed to know and how they were progressing, he was freed up to do much deeper and fun activities.            He reported that he enjoyed the year more than any other he had been teaching.”

“The students monitor their own progress which makes them more active in their learning. It's more motivating for them which makes my job even easier!”
