#9 Mastery is the Product, Not the TestWell, all I can say is that I wish a whole lot of people would buy into this as much as I do.  Unfortunately in the world of mathematics all I hear about are state standards and “the test”.  It’s hard to toss all of that out the window, but I work a lot around the creation of an end product or authentic assessment instead of tests.  When it comes to this shift, my views haven’t changed a whole lot since I’ve started this class; however, they have been greatly reinforced.  I can see better than ever how the tools out there can help facilitate mastery.  Most of these products my students have completed are in hard copy form; however, I’m eager to start to incorporate digital content into a lot of my projects.
