Mastery learning
Moving on only once a skill is genuinely understood, not just covered.
Mastery learning is the idea that a student should reach real understanding of a skill before moving to the next one, instead of marching through a calendar. It is why good practice adapts to where a child actually is rather than their grade on paper.
