The MBLC is a community of schools all working to establish culturally responsive and sustaining mastery-based learning practices. This page is a place for schools to share resources and seek to learn from each other. Are you looking for a sample re-take/revision policy, a protocol for a PLC with teachers, a grading conversion chart, or any other resource? Browse the table below to find a resource from another MBLC school.

Daily Learning Tracker | James A. Taylor High School
Implementation Step(s):
Define success criteria for learning outcomes
Description of Resources:
Creating this daily learning tracker for students has helped: 1) teachers focus instruction and feedback and 2) motivate students to support each other, seek feedback, and revise their work as needed. More students are engaging productively because they clearly know what they need to do to succeed.

Math Standards Tracker to Enable Personalized Learning | West Valley Innovation Center (Yakima)
Implementation Step(s):
Next Steps: Create opportunities for practice, feedback, and revision
Next Steps: Design re-teaching, reassessment, and support systems
Description of Resources:
The Ram Record is the tracker our students use to break down larger projects into smaller, more manageable pieces. It is designed to help students learn math at a pace that makes sense for them, going back to practice where more learning is needed, and going ahead when ready. It is called the Ram Record because we are the West Valley Rams. Included on the tracker are the students' standards, learning targets, and deliverables for their project - as well as real-life skills they are learning by completing the project. This is intended to make student learning clear, and to show how certain tasks are tied to learning objectives, which are ultimately tied to standards. I make Ram Records for math students each week (one example is provided here) and for the math co-teaching I do with other teachers (the example attached is for the Shark Tank project one of our teachers is doing). These can be used weekly, monthly, by project, or by unit.

Success Criteria for High School Science | Hudson's Bay High School
Implementation Step(s):
Step Three: Teachers across the school or district have collaborated to develop rigorous success criteria or shared rubrics for our learning outcomes. We use the success criteria to design units, lessons, assessments, and self-assessment tools for students.
Description of Resources:
As part of my Impact Fellow work, I redesigned my process for teaching NGSS Science and Engineering Practices (SEPs) by having my students lead and develop student-friendly rubrics, specifically for SEP#2 Scientific Modeling. I did this after quietly timing the average time students spent on teacher-designed rubrics and I realized the students were barely looking at or using them (less than 30 sec on average). In terms of the student-friendly rubrics, first, I had my students develop rubrics for a yummy cookie. Specifically, the students were tasked with making a 2 point rubric with clearly defined criteria and characteristics of both an ok (proficient) cookie vs. yummy (advanced) cookie. They also sampled and assessed the cookies. This activity resulted in very student engagement and was good practice for the main event that came the next day: rubrics for scientific modeling. In this case, we repeated the exact same process and resulted a student-friendly and more usable rubric. Moreover, many students got primed to do their own scientific models later in the unit. The development of student-friendly rubrics for scientific modeling has clearly increased student engagement and understanding of the scientific modeling process.

Video of Student-Led Conferences | Bush Middle School
Implementation Step(s):
Next Steps: Foster effective, ongoing collaboration between educators, students, and community members. - Indicator 13: There are many opportunities for students at our school to join with teachers in creating class projects, reflecting on learning, building school culture, leading initiatives, and imagining new approaches.
Description of Resources:
Our school established Student-Led conferences. This video shows students engaging with their families in their conferences, and reflections from both students and staff regarding the advantages of SLCs. This video was made to be an example of SLCs to be used with both students and staff.

Description of Resources:
We created advanced competency rubrics to align with community-based demonstrations of learning, such as internships, Worksite Learning, volunteering, etc. These rubrics are used as a guide when we make standard-specific rubrics for individual projects.
