Mastery Learning

Clear Goals. Real Accountability. Meaningful Progress.

A true mastery-based approach helps every student develop real understanding, no matter their starting point. It’s not about rigid pacing, endless drills, practice without purpose, or a one-size-fits-all approach.

Instead, mastery at Hawkes Learning is built on three essential pillars.

1. Effectiveness

Students gain deep understanding through a structured learning path, scaffolded practice, interactive tutorials, and immediate feedback—building skills that stick. 

2. Engagement

Adaptive review and dynamic content keep learners motivated, confident, and empowered to take control of their progress. 

3. Efficiency

An all-in-one platform streamlines learning and course management, letting students focus on mastery while instructors focus on teaching—not managing technology. 

A Clear Path to Mastery:
Learn, Practice, Certify

Hawkes Learning structures mastery learning through a clear progression of Learn, Practice, and Certify, ensuring students build understanding before they are assessed and demonstrate mastery independently when it counts.

learn

LEARN offers a multimedia-rich presentation of the lesson content. It includes concept builders, animations, instructional videos, and interactive skill checks.

practice

PRACTICE engages students with algorithmically generated problems with step-by-step tutorials and error-specific feedback for mistakes.

certify

CERTIFY requires students to demonstrate mastery of the material at a defined proficiency level without access to tutoring aids.

Mastery Learning in Action

Learning Without Limits

Students have unlimited opportunities to build and demonstrate understanding during practice, without penalty.

 

Support that Motivates

Structured practice, interactive tutorials, and in-the-moment feedback support learning, build confidence, and reinforce understanding.

 

Efficiency at Scale

Instructors can set course- and lesson-level objectives, track progress, and recognize achievement and persistence—without added complexity.
