What is a Unit Mastery Goal?
Unit Mastery goals are short-term goals aimed at achieving the Mastery of a single unit. These goals are designed to align with current instruction and to promote progress and understanding of the unit's content. By assigning these goals, teachers can ensure that students' learning is in sync with the classroom curriculum, making education more effective and engaging. Unit Mastery goals work together with Course Mastery goals to create a year-long learning path for students.
