I was trained to use the Concept Mastery Routine while taking a graduate level class at Radford University in the fall of 2013. Since learning this routine, I have had the opportunity to collaborate with my co-teachers in English, Biology, and Life Science to incorporate ways to implement its use. The Concept Mastery Routine enhances a student's ability to understand new concepts, think about difficult information by connecting to prior knowledge, and prompts the creation of good/working definitions of the concept.
