Imagine a classroom where every student gets what they need… without you creating 15 different lesson plans. In this interactive session, teachers will explore how to use Canvas Mastery Paths to differentiate instruction, personalize learning, and increase student engagement—all within a single assignment. Participants will walk through real classroom examples, learn how to set up mastery-based pathways, and discover how to use data to guide student learning automatically. Whether you're brand new to Canvas or ready to level up your course design, this session will give you practical tools you can implement immediately. 🔑 Key Topics • What are Mastery Paths and why they matter for differentiation • Setting up Mastery Paths using quizzes, assignments, and modules • Using data (scores & outcomes) to automatically assign student pathways • Creating advanced, on-level, and support tracks without extra overwhelm • Real classroom examples: o Reading differentiation o Writing/revising & editing pathways • Tips for managing grading, student expectations, and workflow • Common pitfalls + time-saving hacks
🎓 Learning Objectives By the end of this session, participants will be able to: • Design a Canvas assignment that uses Mastery Paths to differentiate instruction • Create at least two differentiated learning pathways based on student performance • Use quiz or assignment data to automatically guide students to appropriate content • Implement strategies to manage and sustain Mastery Paths in a real classroom setting • Identify ways to increase student ownership and engagement through personalized learning
