Seven Principles of Mastery Teaching
11
Principle 1: Start Where Your Students
Are
• In what ways do you get to know your students
and the currencies they bring to your
classroom?
14
Reflect on What You’ve Seen So Far
15
Principal 4: Support Your Students
Along the Way
• What strategies or activities do you plan ahead
of time to support students or to intervene if they
have difficulties?
16
Principle 5: Use Feedback to Help You
and Your Students Get Better
• What feedback do you currently collect on
students’ progress? How do you use this
feedback to help students improve and to adjust
your instruction?
• Problems: Students may not know how to
improve their own performance. They may fail
the same types of assignments again and again,
and reach the point of frustration and give up.
How do you use varied assessments over time
to provide quality, ongoing feedback?
17
Principle 6: Focus on Quality, Not
Quantity
• Given the requirements of state standards, local
curriculum, etc., how do you set priorities for
learning what’s most important?
• Problems: Curriculum may be “covered” but not
“learned,” students may not retain or understand
what they are learning, and lessons may be
heavily textbook dependent. How do you
address these issues in your planning?
18
Principle 7: Never Work Harder Than
Your Students
• How do students learn by taking more
responsibility for their learning?
• Problems: Students may not take ownership of
their learning. They may not do their work, or
they may be disorganized or not engaged. How
do you use the seven principles to determine
what work is yours and what work is your
students’?
19
Reflection and Questions
• Think about the examples and explanations of
all seven principles of mastery teaching that you
have seen.
• Review and complete the Note-Taking Guide
and Problem-Solving Discussion Guide.
• Review your self-assessment survey results and
the goals you developed for yourself.
• If you have questions, write them on an index
card and give them to the presenter for
responses.

Action Planning for Next Steps
21
Great Teaching Through Mastery
Principles
• Great teachers evolve through continual work
based on job-embedded learning with a focus on
areas needing improvement.
• Teachers shown in this DVD all began as
novices with a passion for their work. They
received support through mentoring, coaching,
leadership, and formal professional
development.
• Great teaching is also about the passion and the
importance of the role of a teacher.
22
Identifying Mentors and Coaches
• Whether you are a novice teacher or an
experienced one, seek support and guidance as
you move toward mastery teaching.
• Identify one or two colleagues that you believe
can provide this support.
• Meet with them one-on-one. Describe the
principles you wish to work on and the action
steps you wish to take. Ask for their help. If
possible, determine a regular meeting time.
• Invite these mentors into your classroom as you
try new ideas.
23
Teacher Leaders as Coaches and
Mentors
• Be a good listener.
• Find ways to offer support to teachers interested
in growing professionally in classroom practices.
Examples:
– Share best-practice resources that you use
and that might be helpful to your colleague.
– Offer to co-plan or co-teach a lesson or unit
that focuses on knowing where students are
going with defined priorities and expectations.
24
Teacher Leaders as Coaches and
Mentors (continued)
– Invite your colleague to observe when you are
doing a lesson that illustrates use of one of
the seven principles.
– Share your successful strategies and
activities related to the principles.
– Brainstorm solutions to problems caused by
insufficient attention to one of the principles.
25
Overlapping Roles of Teacher Leader,
Coach, and Mentor
• Collaborator or Consultant
– Provides expertise in content, process, and strategies including
modeling lessons and providing resources.
• Coach
– Supports teachers in strengthening planning, inquiry, reflection,
and problem solving.
– Uses nonjudgmental language.
• Staff Developer
– Identifies and plans for needs of ongoing professional growth for
individuals and groups.
– Presents and facilitates opportunities for others to acquire new
knowledge, skills, and understanding. 26
Overlapping Roles of Teacher Leader,
Coach, and Mentor (continued)
• Reminders
– Professional growth is an incremental
process.
– Adult learners have special needs.
– Professional growth increases with successful
actions that lead to student achievement.
– Leading, coaching, and mentoring are
opportunities to increase your own expertise
and job satisfaction.
