Mastery-Based Learning System
ALS is a mastery-based learning system. Students must pass the lesson’s Mastery Test with a score of 70% or higher in order to move onto the next lesson. The student will have up to 3 chances to score 70% or higher.
The Anywhere Learning System automatically grades the lessons and mastery tests and assigns a score in the grade book. The parent will be responsible for manually grading any essays and assigning a grade for those essays.
ALS contains a comprehensive curriculum that includes the following for each lesson:
Study – New concepts are taught and reviews conducted
Practice – Students practice what they learned
Mastery – Tests the student on the objectives in the lesson
Essay – Gives the student a chance to communicate what they learned (essays are not included in all lessons)
