FIAE: Chapter 2

Mastery of a content area is a difficult thing to determine for each and every student. Differentiated instruction can be applied to the way a teacher determines if a student has master a subject or portion of the course. The chapter explained how creating a rubric or standards for a content area has to specify exactly what it means to master that area, and different levels of mastery can be expected. As a teacher you would want all students to reach the highest mastery of the content area. I liked how the chapter quoted what someone considered to be mastery. They basically said that a student is considered to have mastered a content area when they have not simply just memorized the information and knowledge provided but will carry it with them, and can apply it in their lives. I think that right there is the ultimate proof of mastery.
