Liberty Public Schools math teachers piloted a mastery-based learning model to support student self-direction and personalized pacing. Elementary school teachers built lessons around a continuum of standards and allowed for students to attend classes based on their interests and/or needs for their learning pathways.

When schools closed for in-person instruction and students shifted to remote learning, they became more responsible for managing their work and schedule. Teachers noticed students struggling with self-management skills and adjusted their social emotional learning scope and sequence to focus on development to support independent learning.

As a result of the pandemic and changing class sizes for students returning in-person, elementary schools shifted from single grade level classes to multi-grade level classes. This allowed creating even class sizes with frequently shifting numbers of students attending in-person.

Students were guided to explore their individual identities and reflect on how their identities influenced their ability to learn and leverage their strengths. To celebrate this work, the school held an Identity Day assembly.
