Mastery learning is a way of designing units of work so that each set of tasks focuses on a particular learning objective and students must master a task to move onto the next one.

See how Mastery Learning is implemented in different classrooms at Trinity College.

This example uses a Year 9 Physical Education lesson to demonstrate effective practice in different education settings.

This checklist focuses on implementing mastery learning.

Mastery learning is a teaching practice that evidence says makes a difference. In this video, Melissa Garstang-Leary explains how she uses mastery learning in her English lessons.
