    Today Lambda School began rolling out a mastery-based learning methodology, where students can repeat any unit for as long as necessary, supported by our staff, until they've met our outcomes and mastered that material. Not easy to do, but will make for much stronger engineers.

        This is one of the hundreds of things we're doing, largely behind the scenes, that won't be noticed by the outside world, but that make a world of difference for our students.

        Awesome (and interesting). What was the inspiration for this move Austen?

        It's just better. It makes it so that people don't move forward lost, and people don't slip through the cracks. It also makes it so that we can proudly say that every Lambda School student has mastered every thing we teach without hesitation.

        Nice! Have you run a pilot already? Any key learnings? Sorry about the questions. Always interested when someone makes a shift in instructional design.

        @calebhicks, our VP of instruction, has been in education for almost a decade. So in a way this is our pilot, but a lot of instructional design experience going into the change.

        This was my favorite aspect so far when Caleb told me about it and is also the biggest reason I left the Bootcamp scene. Top 80% will be fine. It's that bottom 20% that kept me up at night.

        And then I think to myself... what if, _what if_ they were learning from the magnificent Tyler as well? 🤔

        it's funny how you're rapidly doing all these things that educators say universites do but universities never seem to quite get around to it 🤔

        That is fantastic. Everything you are doing feels like a response to complaints about my current program.

        Here’s one of the better examples of a mastery-based program I’ve seen with many diverse pathways and significant scale: https://www.edsurge.com/news/2017-12-18-how-a-flipped-syllabus-twitter-and-youtube-made-this-professor-teacher-of-the-year … might provide some inspiration. Otherwise good to hear you’ve gone down that path.

        Middle schools in Utah have been implementing this for years, @mellesueur probably has opinions about the practice of mastery teaching

        Bravo on all your work creating new education opportunities. Many universities should be getting nervous now as word spreads.
