Mastery and Transferrence
With mastery and transference, students demonstrate mastery of one material before moving onto the next. The skills they learned with the first are transferred to and enlarged by the next.
  • Every lesson has a prerequisite before it can be presented. Because of the clear sequence of lesson presentations, both teachers and students know when he/she is ready for the next level of presentations.

  • A test of the level of mastery in a student's work is indicated in the transference of skills; i.e., the use of grammar in writing, the accuracy of arithmetic in mathematics, the skipping of steps in the use of materials. Teachers are trained to intercede when a child needs help or guidance and to stand back from the learning process when the student is successfully progressing.
