We have a lot of exciting information to share about our work with member schools and design team to create our first functional prototypes of the Mastery Transcript Platform. Following is an overview of the key phases of our project.
We sat down recently with Julia Bamba, principal of Gibson Ek, a public high school in Washington State that is also an MTC member school and part of the MTC Prototype Working Group (PWG). Now in its third year, Julia shared with us the progress that Gibson Ek has made as a Big Picture “real world learning” school, and how Gibson Ek is benefiting from participating in MTC’s PWG.
The ‘remarkable achievement’ recognizes excellence in areas such as innovation and scalability.
“The difference with mastery learning is that you can apply learning and feedback to real life. We research, test, fail, then innovate and improvise. Other systems of learning don’t account for that,“ said Jacob Warman ‘20, during the student panel at MTC’s October Site Director meeting in New York City. “There is more to our learning than just getting a grade.”
Student engagement and parent satisfaction are up, following THINK Global School’s transition to mastery-based learning.
Challenge Success “supports the work of the Mastery Transcript Consortium to promote an alternative transcript and rubrics that truly reflect student mastery and help to reduce student stress and overload without reducing rigor…”
MTC is designing Version 1.0 of the Mastery Transcript, expanding member engagement for our growing network, engaging higher ed, and building the organization to support member schools.
This video is an inspiring tale of education where “class is work and work is class and learning and success thrive in a wonderland of systematic disruption.”
MTC announced that it has officially opened membership to public schools, effective July 1.
During January Term (“J-Term”), Kevin Moore, an educator in mathematics at MTC member school Malvern Preparatory School, facilitated “The Start-Up of You,” an innovative course he created to teach students about “treating themselves as a start-up, building a network, and investing in their futures.” Following he describes the experience, including the process of having students create their own “professional profile.”
