"Self reflection, analysis, practice and feedback are essential steps to mastery."

Teaching mastery has several important benefits to students. Students who master material in a lesson can more easily learn new material. The skills and concepts students acquire provide a very strong foundation for learning new skills and concepts. Students' self-esteem increases when they master material presented to them. They are confident that they will be able to learn new material. They know they are successful. They look forward to going to school, participating in groups and doing their assignments.

Teaching Channel has resources to support your learning at every phase.
