Students who have not yet mastered the material proceed with planned activities. Students who have mastered some of the upcoming material might move through the content more quickly and then engage in an enrichment activity. Students who have mastered all of the upcoming material may immediately work on an independent project or consult with a mentor or cross-age tutor.
