6. Deliberate Practice...the Path to Mastery

We always strive to make this better for you and your students. Please provide feedback here: https://forms.gle/SssF1zRikJwTtgM88 [https://forms.gle/SssF1zRikJwTtgM88] Why do some people become good in their chosen field, and others become great? Research into mastery and excellence has shown that regardless of what someone is studying, the way they practice determines whether or not their learning will plateau or continuously climb toward mastery. A remarkably simple structure, which we can employ with our students, sets them up for the steadily climb that leads to excellence...in our classes and in the rest of their lives.  Further research and readings: 1.
