Summary:

The adage that practice, or rather the right kind of practice, makes perfect is quite apparent in this new definitive book that describes the concept of mastery learning in the classroom. Educators can instruct all students, regardless of their individual scholastic aptitudes, using the principles and philosophies of mastery learning. The key to this process is reinforcing and expanding initial learning through additional practice and higher-level exercises, enabling all students to reach high standards.
