Learning Progression
Hybrid
A hybrid progression sits between mastery and spiral. It stays on a concept long enough to build real fluency, then keeps that concept alive through short, regular review even as new topics arrive.
Starting out
How this learner tends to begin
Focused stretches on a current topic.
Ongoing light review of prior topics.
New material introduced incrementally, not in a rush.
Momentum
What keeps this learner engaged
Depth and retention without total isolation of topics.
Handles a wide range of learner temperaments.
Steady, predictable feel week to week.
Friction
What may create friction
Rarely as deep as pure mastery on any single concept.
Rarely as broad or varied as pure spiral.
Can be harder to spot which mode you're currently in.
Support
Helpful supports
Name the difference between 'today's topic' and 'today's review.'
Protect the focused block from being crowded out by review.
Use review as a warm-up, not a whole lesson.
