Upcoming Events
An important forum for our shared learning and collaboration will be our MBLC Virtual Meetings, which will occur once in the fall and once in the spring. Each online meeting will begin with a webinar presentation, which will be followed by opportunities for discussion and connection in breakout rooms with educators from across the MBLC.
This meeting on March 17 will focus on a question that every Mastery-Based school wrestles with: How can we hold high expectations for mastery and simultaneously improve our support systems so that students can meet a raised bar? We will be very lucky to hear from Alyssa Wallace, a TOSA for Instructional Interventions, Instructional Coach, and WASC Coordinator at Del Lago Academy in Escondido CA. Ms Wallace will explain how her school uses mastery-based and culturally responsive strategies to show students that it is never too late to learn and to help them gain a high level of proficiency.
Running agenda for the online meetings here.
