"I am quite enthusiastic about this book. As far as I know, no one has brought the perspective of mastery learning to the considerable dialogue about standards even though the connection is an obvious one. These authors clearly know mastery learning and will add greatly to the standards movement." Robert Marzano, Adjunct Associate Professor Cardinal Stritch University, Milwaukee, WI "The book makes a distinct contribution to the field. The integration of standards and mastery learning is important if standards, once established, are to be achieved by large numbers of students. I think it is timely, well organized, contains real-life examples, and is well written." Lorin Anderson, Carolina Distinguished Professor of Education University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC "This is one of the best books I have read on this topic. I can’t wait for it to be published so that I can give copies to each of the teachers at my school." Rose Anne Vojtek, Principal Ivy Drive Elementary School, Bristol, CT How to really mean it when we say, "all children can learn!" The adage that practice, or rather the right kind of practice, makes perfect is quite apparent in this new definitive book by J. Ronald Gentile and James P. Lalley, describing the concept of mastery learning in the classroom. Educators can instruct all students, regardless of their individual scholastic aptitudes, using the principles and philosophies of mastery learning. The key to this process is reinforcing and expanding initial learning through additional practice and higher-level exercises, enabling all students to reach high standards. Other key elements of this practical resource include: Usable ideas for educators and administrators on how to implement mastery learning in math, science, social studies, language arts, and other subject areas How to achieve mastery learning from a theoretical perspective How to assess effectiveness in achieving high standards Research evidence, details, features, and examples of good programs and lessons The cure for a student’s helplessness is competence, which increases both the feeling of self-efficacy, and the ability to achieve new learnings. Standards and Mastery Learning is the ideal book to enable educators to help students attain these goals. It examines national and state standards and shows how to attain them through mastery learning.
