Integrate the Skills
Practice Perfect - Rule 12
Make It Real
When you begin to integrate the skills and make practice more authentic, the skills become habitual.
3 Components for Integration
Game-Like Scenarios
After teaching discrete skills, create practice that places the skills in situations participants could face.
Matching
Create practice that helps people learn to match the right skills to the right situations.
Game Setting
Consider simulating the performance environment to ensure that successful practice translates into successful performance.
