The Mastery Learning Folder Process For help: ask your child’s teacher, another parent or you are welcome to email admin@masterylearninggroup. com. au

The Mastery Learning Folder Process Your child’s teacher will regularly place learning content into the store pocket of the folder.

The first day … The teacher will have placed the number of flashcards to be learnt by your child in each session into the Hive pocket.

The Active Pockets = Active Pockets Only the flashcards in the active pockets are tested and learnt each session.

Test then Revise Step 1: Test FIRST

The first day … Step 1: Test each flashcard FIRST, move forward to the next pocket if correct, leave in the Hive if incorrect.

Test / Revise Order is Key! (Step 1: Test FIRST) Step 2: Check for understanding & revise

After a week … The flashcards have now spread through the pockets, moving forward one pocket when correct. When incorrect, flashcards are held aside then returned to the Hive.

It is easiest to start from the leading pocket (the one with the most advanced flashcards). Step 1: Test FIRST. Incorrect flashcard are held aside. Correct flashcards move forward.

After testing is finished, return the incorrect flashcards to the Hive.

What happens when a flashcard leaves the active pocket? It is no longer tested or revised but a new flashcard is placed aside ready to go into the Hive.

Incorrect flashcard are held aside, then returned to the Hive.

= Active Pockets Step 2. Practice / Revise / LCWC etc content in the active pockets only.

Formal Test Flashcards in the Test pocket are not revised. They wait for the “formal test” by the teacher, one to two weeks later. The teacher then tests to see if the content has moved into long-term memory.

Formal Test zip lock bag The teacher returns learning content not remembered, to the Store pocket. Material remembered goes to the Mastered pocket and then to a zip-lock bag (pockets hold up to 20 flashcards each).

Thins to Remember • Fingers are never pushed into pockets. • Slide flashcards behind those already in the pocket or gently fold down the flap. • Flashcards should always poke out the top – if they do get stuck, slide a ruler in behind to ease them out. • Let your teacher know if you feel your child would benefit from more or less flashcards. • Your child is practicing two things; memory storage and memory retrieval. Retrieval should present a moderate challenge, that’s why every day practice is not recommended. Four to five sessions is sufficient. • It is vital to cultivate a positive “growth mindset” – this process is about long-term memory storage – forgetting and “mistakes” actually HELPS the learning process!!
