I have used the Concept Mastery Routine for a number of years in a variety of settings. As a special education teacher, I used Concept Mastery in co-taught classes for math and biology. The class size was typically between 15 and 20 students with approximately one-third of the students receiving special education services.
In my current position as a project coordinator for the Training and Technical Assistance Center (TTAC) at RU, I work with administrators and teachers to provide professional development and support to assist schools in addressing accountability and improvement goals for students with disabilities. I have used the Concept Mastery Routine for several professional development sessions to help teachers review and explore a number of different topics. The group size typically ranges from 15 to 40 participants.
I also work as adjunct faculty at Radford University and I used Concept Mastery with a class I taught this past fall. The class had fourteen students and they are enrolled in the education program at RU. The students used the diagrams to review the topic of intellectual disability and it also served as a review tool for a test they were taking on this topic. Samples of their completed concept diagrams can be found in a link below as well as my co-constructed concept diagram.
