As a teacher, you’ve probably faced the challenge of adapting your teaching to suit the various needs of your students. Ensuring that all of your students have the understanding and knowledge of a subject can sometimes be difficult, especially when there’s a wide range of abilities.
This is where we want to help. EducationCity has a number of features which can support the mastery approach across the curriculum, such as MyCity lesson planning and Tests.
What is a MyCity?

A MyCity allows you to quickly and easily group content in one place and assign it to students to access in class or at home, as homework.
How Does MyCity Help with The Mastery Approach?
- Set work for different abilities: MyCity lets you set targeted work for groups of students depending on their abilities so they can focus on areas for improvement.
- Helps you manage your students’ learning: you can control the flow of learning by putting the assigned work in a set order and setting it to ‘Sequenced’ – you can also choose the percentage score your students should achieve before they can move on.
- Track your students’ progress: each MyCity created has a Tracking tab so you can see the work that has been completed and individual students’ scores – this is a great way of identifying where intervention is required.
What are Tests?

Tests are great for assessing your students’ performance. You can monitor results from each test a student has taken, and help them improve by reviewing their scores and focusing on those areas of weakness.
How Do Tests Help with The Mastery Approach?
- Helps track your students’ progress: Every question and answer is recorded in SuccessTracker for each student, allowing you to track whole-class and individual progress. Use the filters in SuccessTracker to refine the student data you’re looking at, which will help you to identify whether a topic has been mastered or not.
- Targeted Learning: A MyRevision Journal is generated for students after taking a Test to help them target weaknesses and improve their knowledge. A range of Activities and Learn Screens are automatically gathered when students score below 100% on a test, to create an individualised pathway for improvement.
