SPIN Volunteer Quick Guide to Mastery (PDF)<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Mastery is at the heart of 4-H SPIN clubs. Young people demonstrate mastery when they are able to competently use new knowledge and skills in real-world situations. As a SPIN volunteer your goal is to help the members in your SPIN club master the knowledge and skills they need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Best Practices for Mastery<\/b><\/th>\nWays Volunteers Can Promote Mastery<\/b><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
\n
    \n
  • Young people learn best through hands-on learning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n
\n
    \n
  • Plan learning activities that actively engage them in learning — build, create, explore, make, discover, test, plan, cut, estimate, experience, measure, draw, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n
    \n
  • When young people successfully solve problems or meet a challenge, they develop confidence in themselves — they believe they are capable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n
\n
    \n
  • Present them with a challenge or problem to solve. Encourage and support them, but allow them to discover the solution.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n
    \n
  • Young people demonstrate leadership skills.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n
\n
    \n
  • Provide leadership opportunities such as, leading an activity, helping others who need assistance, or planning a family event to showcase what members have learned.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n
    \n
  • Young people demonstrate their mastery to others.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n
\n
    \n
  • Provide opportunities for members to share what they have learned, created, and mastered at a family event, competition, or community gathering.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n
    \n
  • Young people learn from their mistakes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n
\n
    \n
  • When things don\u2019t work out as planned, talk with the young person and ask what s\/he thinks went wrong, what s\/he could do differently, and how to avoid the mistake in the future. Allow the young person to reflect on the experience, share his\/her thoughts, and identify a solution.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
