Every student is different. No two students have the same learning style or formula for success, which is why traditional education and standard curriculum requires amelioration or supplementation to be effective. Rather than a linear system applied across the board, some schools and academic enrichment programs are experimenting with “Mastery Learning.” FasTracKids / Eye Level Learning Center is one such program, using enhanced techniques to help students find academic success through innovative educational programming.

“Mastery Learning” is a method with which the student’s understanding is paramount to time. Rather than setting aside a set amount of time for each lesson which disallows for the mastery of a subject, this method ensures that no student moves on before having achieved a satisfactory understanding. Eye Level is a system that uses mastery learning to the great benefit of their students. Children learn at their own pace, mastering one skill at a time. The learning center has perfected the Mastery System in a way traditional schools have not been able to, and they now serve over 2.5 million students worldwide.

In this method the student is the leader, and their active participation in the process has enormous benefits to overall learning. Eye Level provides colorful, fun, expertly crafted child-friendly learning materials which enable the student to be in control of their experience. Teachers and experienced educators are there to support the students and oversee their complete understanding of the given material.

In the conservative education system, students hand in papers and completed work to be graded by the teacher outside the classroom. On the contrary, instructors at Eye Level grade work in class, alongside the students as an added and extremely beneficial learning experience, proven to ensure mastery.

While difficult to manage in large classroom settings, mastery learning is actually more efficient when it comes to grasping the material at hand. Most Eye Level students are able to progress an entire grade level within six months! To the great relief of students and parents, even children who are behind or learn more slowly than their peers can catch up using the Eye Level mastery system.
