The short answer

What is mastery-based learning, and why does it work?

Mastery-based learning means you advance only after proving you understand a concept — by explaining it and answering application questions — instead of just finishing a lesson or clicking 'next.' It works because it closes gaps before they compound and ensures every foundation is solid. Ezine is built on mastery, so nothing shaky slips through.
