For any task, a student might be able to successfully complete a task independently or dependently or not at all. If a student can complete a task independently, we consider that student to have "mastered" the skill(s) necessary to complete the task. If a student can complete a task dependently, that is, with assistance, it is our responsibility as teachers to guide that student toward mastery.
