Neil Mastery Learning Ideas

Neil Notes for Mastery Learning for the teacher class.
I am thinking of ways to try to help teachers keep track of kids doing mastery learning.
Sue was complaining that he kids are not doing thier Mastery Learning. Coutnrey was saying some kid want to go back and try the next day after they messed up. I see two main ideas;- we could try to help remind the kid and or we can make it easer for a teacher to learn who is doing what.
It might be worth making it so that when a kid loged in to remind them of what they have due (that implies both tradtional problem sets and masteryl learning problem sets that ahve have failed recectnly.) . In fact we can email kids that failed on Mastery learning 48 hours later to remind them they still need to come back and finish.
Teachers were thinking kids just failed ML on one day. They don't think its their job.
Can we make a report that makes it easier for a kid to realize what you have to do.
"You have two problem sets that are past due. You have three mastery learning problem sets that you have started but failed to master. Adding (You have not tried again is 3 days) Subsraticng (You tried yesterday) Division (You have not tried this problem set again in a week)"
Sue is logging on to check to see if kids are bothering to log in. When doing this she could use a report that shows a calendar as comlumns and when days a kids started and ended. Imagine a report where each kid is listed as a row and each each column represent the last seven days. A teacher should be able to see taht many kids tried to mastery on monday. Some failed and came back on Tuesday. Some did not come back on tuesday. Some of those kids came back and tried on Wednesda but some kids are shown to have not come back at all. If a teacher implements a rule that says a kid that failed to master a topic they muct come back within 1 (or maybe 2 days) then we could tell the teacher who is not compling.
Jim Rosseel says he has no problem getting kids to get the kids to do the stuff. I am wondering if by email kids we will make them dependent upon the system to know what they should do. of coruse not all kids have emails.
Maybe this is where emails to parents come in. We could let a parent sign up for a email notification in thier kid fails a mastery learning and does not come back withing the next few days. Or maybe this is something a teacher controls. Not sure.
