Abstract
This qualitative case study is about implementing a mastery learning program for algebra I. The study takes place at a small suburban high school near Indianapolis. This school decided to implement a mastery learning program to improve student performance on the upcoming End of Course Assessments. Beginning in the spring of 2008 DPCHS began creating a program titled Algebra that Works, this program required students to demonstrate mastery on essential indicators as they progressed through the course. This study provides background on the components of implementation and mastery learning. Additionally, this study illustrates how changes in classroom processes can create resistance from community stakeholders. It also provides information on how the faculty created ATW and how they worked through the challenges related to implementation.
