Mastery Learning in Canvas: A Beginners Guide to Differentiation and Personalization through Data-Based Decisions

• In Event: 41-W5: Mastery Learning in Canvas

Short Description

Making data-based decisions to differentiate and personalize instruction is increasingly important. Reframing gradebooks to focus on learning outcomes rather than scores can help teachers identify students’ strengths and weaknesses and provide resources for academic and individual progression. This 3-hour workshop will summarize mastery learning through student learning outcomes and assessments and help attendees setup a sample mastery unit and gradebook in Canvas. Prior Canvas experience is encouraged but not required. Attendees should bring a computer.
