Mastery Club

Mastery Club

This is a club for students who want to go "above and beyond" normal classroom expectations.  No student has to participate in the Mastery Club, but you may like the challenge of going the extra mile. I hope to never stop learning new things and my goal is to inspire students to feel the same way. To participate students just pick any question below, research it, and write the answer in the back of their metacognition journal. If you need help finding a place to research the question come and ask for some help. When the question is answered show me the journal and I will give you a star. The more stars you earn the higher "master" learner you will become. At the end of the year students will be rewarded for their level of mastery and will be on my Mastery Club Hall-of-Fame.

(The idea of Mastery Clubs are all around the web and have been originated back to an amazing teacher in Redmond, OR. Check out Mrs. Renz's website for amazing ideas. Most teachers provide a website link to take the student straight to the answers, but I wanted them to try to figure it out on their own first. Perhaps they may even ask a librarian, open an almanac, or read an encyclopedia!)
