An Academic Guide

The Academic Guide is a comprehensive resource designed for school founders and educational leaders looking to implement mastery-based learning (MBL). At its core, MBL is a personalized approach where students advance only after mastering key concepts, fostering deep understanding, critical thinking, and practical application.This flexible system adapts to diverse learning environments, from classrooms to blended and online settings. The guide goes beyond instructional methods, promoting a mindset where students take ownership of their progress, set goals, and continuously reflect on their growth. As part 1 of the Playbook, it equips leaders with the foundational principles needed to build a mastery-based school. Part 2, the Founder’s Guide (coming soon), will further explore the process of launching a school.
