We often discuss the importance of 'deliberate practice' in teacher development. At #GTDF @MaymeHostetter, President of @RelayGSE where the technique was pioneered, will explain what it's all about and how we can use it to improve teachers & leaders alike: ift.education/global-teacher

As I watch my son training and playing football I'm far from sure but seems to present complex fast-moving environment: parallels with classroom. Best training I've seen involves recreating elements of match but constrained for DP...

I agree. I start training using deliberate practice by analogising to other things trainees have become highly-skilled in: the model seems to fit most of the supports they mention in getting there. Will look forward to the blog.

But I think we can develop deliberate practice activities to teach the analysis of situations and scenarios, and we can use reflection on deliberate practice to develop a deeper understanding of teacher decision-making without waiting to make mistakes in the classroom.

Problems with deliberate practice: can we use it in teacher education?

Practice is the single most important factor in determining a person’s ultimate achievement in a given domain (Ericsson and Pool, 2016, p.238)” Anders Ericsson adds just one caveat: the…
