Synopsis

The definitive classic―updated for our times.

One of the most widely researched and proven-effective education methodologies in existence, mastery learning laid the foundation for today’s most promising teaching methods, providing a direct challenge to traditional approaches that have perpetuated inequities for generations of children. This timely new edition of the foremost practical guide includes:

• Recent applications of the principles of mastery learning to distance, hybrid, and blended learning environments
• Updates including evidence from recent implementation efforts, the results of the most current research on mastery learning and its implications for practice
• Step-by-step guidance on implementation across grade levels and subject areas
• Supplemental, on-line chapters that unpack the development of effective formative assessments and connections between RTI and mastery learning

About the Author

Thomas R. Guskey, PhD, is Professor Emeritus in the College of Education at the University of Kentucky. A graduate of the University of Chicago’s renowned Measurement, Evaluation, and Statistical Analysis (MESA) program, he began his career in education as a middle school teacher, served as an administrator in the Chicago Public Schools, and was the first Director of the Center for the Improvement of Teaching and Learning, a national educational research center. He is the author/editor of twenty-seven books and over three hundred articles published in prominent research journals as well as Educational Leadership, Kappan, and The School Administrator.

 

Dr. Guskey served on the Policy Research Team of the National Commission on Teaching and America’s Future, and on the task force to develop the National Standards for Professional Development. He was named a Fellow in the American Educational Research Association and was awarded the Association’s prestigious Relating Research to Practice Award. He was also awarded Learning Forward′s Outstanding Contribution to the Field Award and Phi Delta Kappan′s Distinguished Educator Award.
