"Self reflection, analysis, practice and feedback are essential steps to mastery."

Teaching mastery has several important benefits for students. Students who master the material in a lesson can more easily learn new material. The skills and concepts students acquire provide a very strong foundation for learning new skills and concepts. Students' self-esteem increases when they master the material presented to them. They are confident that they will be able to learn new information. They know they are successful. They look forward to going to school, participating in groups, and doing their assignments.
