How Does Grading in a Flipped Mastery Class Work?
At the beginning of each semester, students are given a Mastery Checklist with all the lessons they must complete before the end of the term. Lessons with a star next to them are not required and can be skipped. To receive a passing grade for the semester, students must demonstrate mastery of each required lesson before the end of the term.
How Do Students "Demonstrate Mastery"?
Every lesson has three components.
1) Video Lesson
2) Independent Practice Questions
3) Mastery Quiz
The mastery quiz can be taken when the lesson packet (which contains notes and independent practice) has been completed. Students must receive at least an 80% on each mastery quiz to pass. If a student passes the mastery quiz, they move onto the next lesson. If they fail, they must do a short correctional assignment before retaking a different version of the quiz.
