  4. At the core of the running track metaphor is a sense of striving for excellence. When individuals come together with strong personal visions of excellence it creates an incredibly compelling shared vision (Senge). My leadership model starts with a focus on knowing your students incredibly well and ultimately seeking to provide them as individuals with a voice (Shaw). As a team of adults we lay the foundation for that image of our students by believing it is our moral imperative to give students a voice and improve the life chances of all (Fullan.) The strong emphasis on non-cognitive skill development comes from theorists such as Collins and Covey who put major stock in the development of “an intense personal will” and a “strong sense of purpose.” This non-cognitive development coupled with incredibly rigorous cognitive development pedagogy as described below will be the logical steps towards the ultimate image of the successful learner.

  5. Arguably the strongest element of the track metaphor is that data is inherently imbedded into every decision made, both by adults and students alike. Having a coherent, viable and guaranteed curriculum is in the first lane because it has the most direct impact on student achievement (Shaw). Another element that is strongly implied in the model is mastery based teaching, which Darling Hamilton points out is a huge driver of success. When mastery based teaching is established within a system of constant data analysis it allows for teachers and students to really look at the teaching and learning that is done and negotiate what is most beneficial, constantly evolving to next practices (Shaw). In addition to the mastery based curriculum model I would seek to implement many of Lemov’s strategies in teaching literacy for all and viewing the concept of practice as essential to becoming a better student. The way to become a better reader or writer is to get as many road miles as possible every day. The “guaranteed” curriculum in my model will be primarily focused on teaching fewer standards to mastery and emphasizing that the more practice reps or road miles one gets the better they become (Marzano). Finally, an additional component inherent in the track model is designing course specific curriculum with the end in mind (Wiggins & McTighe). When both students and teachers know where the finish line is, there is more clarity where and why they need to run.

  6. Educational leadership book presentation of Practice Perfect by Doug Lemov Jay Hartman

  7. Framing it: does anyone know who this is?

  8. Why Practice Perfect? • KIPP Framework for excellent teaching • Reading Training at Uncommon • My personal leadership model • Experience with role playing

  9. Context of the book • “To practice is to declare, I can be better.” • Practice Perfect puts the art of practice front and center. It shows that anyone, in any field, can come to appreciate that practice, not games, makes champions. The “how-to” rules outlined in Practice Perfect can make us better in virtually every performance of life.

  10. Major Philosophy

  11. Relied heavily on… • Bright Spots: study what works instead of what doesn’t work. How do I get others to do what the great teacher does? • Shrink the change: Size of the solution doesn’t have to match the problem (100 1% solutions) • Critical moves: be really clear about the next steps, which helps support resistance to change

  12. Relied heavily on… • 1. It’s all about growing myelin • Skill is myelin insulation that wraps neural circuits and that grows according to certain signals. The story of skill and talent is the story of myelin…myelin is similar to another evolution-built mechanism you use every day: muscles. • 2. Deep practice (which requires hard work, mental struggle, and extreme attention to detail) is required • 3. Highly talented pockets develop because SECRET #1: they accelerate deep practice • 4. Chunking is a secret to accelerated struggle • 5. SECRET #2: Ignition • 6. Long-term commitment is a huge predictor of success • 7. Great teachers are key – but they’re not what we commonly think of as great teachers

  13. Highlights • Rethinking Practice • How to practice • Using Modeling • Feedback • Culture of Practice • Post-Practice

  14. Rethinking Practice • Encode success • Practice the 20 • Let the mind follow the body • Unlock creativity….with repetition • Replace your purpose (with an objective) • Practice “Bright Spots” • Differentiate drill from Scrimmage • Correct instead of Critique
