#4 How can I address the fluency needs of my students?
DEEP PRACTICE
Deep Practice consists of stopping when an error occurs, practicing that one skill until it is perfected, then continuing. Students learn by repeating, reassessing and "fixing" their skills in the process of learning them, with immediate feedback and error-correction.
Scientific research shows that this type of learning causes myelin, a neural insulation, to grow and thicken around axons, which connect the brain's neurons to each other. Increased myelin makes the information signal that passes through the neural network faster, stronger, and longer lasting. The result is quicker thinking, and better retention.
