I keep wanting to comment on the original topic, but whenever I get around to thinking up what I have to say, the website is down!
For those who were missing a rubric with the new mastery transcript: there is one on
http://www.mastery.org/a-new-model/ .
Only it won�t clear things up much, because (according to the organisation) it only �captures our best thinking for now�,and finalising it is what they exist for, and there will be �no standardisation of content�. Every school gets to invent their own performance areas, rubric etc.
Right. Still not sure what your job is, then, but if that is you best thinking for now, I am not impressed. So a school is supposed to certify mastery of, a long other stuff, �develop flexibility, agility, and adaptability�, �bring a sense of courage to unfamiliar situations�, �sustain an empathetic and compassionate outlook�.
Oh look, there is content, too. Students might show mastery of �understanding traditional and emerging topics in maths, science, technology, environmental sciences, robotics, fractals, cellular automata, nanotechnology and biotechnology�.
Wow. Just wow. I call DRIVEL. Makes me nostalgic for the good old times of �calculus: B�.
