Membership
What is included in Standard Membership?
Standard Membership includes the Starter Kit, The Hub, and Phased Circles. It is designed for educators who want monthly instructional support, reflection, and a sustainable rhythm for professional growth.
What is included in Premium Membership?
Premium Membership includes everything in Standard, plus The Vault, Monthly Q&A, Monthly Phased Study, and a Quarterly Deep Dive Session.
Can I join the membership at any time during the four-week cycle?
Yes. You can join at any point during the monthly cycle. When you enter The Hub, you’ll be able to see the previous weeks from that cycle and jump in right where you start. There is no need to wait for a new month to begin.
What happens after I join?
After checkout, you’ll receive access to your membership area. From there, you can access The Hub, explore the current monthly focus, join Phased Circles, and begin participating in the learning experience right away.
Can I switch between Standard and Premium Membership?
Yes. If you'd like to change your membership, simply contact us. Membership changes take effect at the end of your current billing period, allowing you to keep access through the time you've already paid for before selecting your new membership.
The Hub, The Vault & Phased Circles
What is The Hub?
The Hub is the current monthly workshop experience. It gives members one focused place to engage with the month’s instructional focus and apply it to their own planning, reflection, and classroom practice.
What is The Vault?
The Vault is the Premium 6-month workshop archive. It gives Premium members access to previous workshop experiences for continued reflection, review, and implementation.
Do I have to participate in Phased Circles?
No. Participation is optional. However, Phased Circles is a valuable way to share your own expertise, reflect with other educators, and learn from the insight and experiences of the community.
Starter Kit
Is the Starter Kit included with membership?
Yes. The Starter Kit is included with both Standard and Premium Membership. It is also available as a standalone product for educators who want to begin with a clear roadmap from standards to student mastery without joining the membership.
Do I need to complete the Starter Kit before joining the membership?
No. You do not need to purchase the Starter Kit separately before joining. The Starter Kit is included with both Standard and Premium Membership. Once you become a member, completing the Starter Kit is highly recommended because it introduces the core Phased Mastery framework, vocabulary, and approach used throughout the monthly workshops. However, it is not required before you begin participating.
Can I purchase the Starter Kit without joining the membership?
Yes. The Starter Kit can be purchased as a standalone product. It includes a downloadable workbook and guided walkthrough designed to help you clarify standards, define mastery, and identify meaningful next steps for instructional growth.
If I buy the Starter Kit and later join the membership, will I receive a refund?
No. The Starter Kit is a standalone purchase and is not credited toward membership. However, the Starter Kit is also included with both Standard and Premium Membership, so if you later decide to join, you’ll continue to have access to it as part of your membership experience.
Experience & Fit
Is Phased Mastery a course library?
No. Phased Mastery is not a generic course library. It is a guided professional growth experience built around clarity, confidence, reflection, collaboration, and sustainable instructional mastery.
Who is Phased Mastery for?
Phased Mastery is for educators who want to move beyond scattered planning and feel more confident about what mastery looks like, how students progress, and how instruction can become more focused and sustainable.
How much time should I expect to spend each month?
Phased Mastery is designed to fit alongside the realities of teaching. Most educators engage with the monthly focus over the course of the month rather than all at once. The experience is intentionally designed to support steady reflection and application without creating another overwhelming commitment.
