Strand 4: Stages of Practice
Welcome to the final Strand, Stages of Practice. Based on Rosenshine’s observational research, the most effective teachers give more time for guided practice (Sherrington, 2019). Strand 4 contains three Practices, including:
Practice #5: Guide student practice
Practice #7: Obtain a high success rate
Practice #9: Independent practice
Within this section, we will address the following learning intentions…
- Participants will understand how important practice is to the instructional delivery model.
- Teachers will learn how practice can move information from students short term to long term memory.
- Participants will come to value and prioritize using formative assessment data to ensure high success rates in student learning.
- Teachers will consider shifting self-reflection and goal setting into the students’ hands.
