Reply To: Lesson 4 – 9: What is Purposeful Practice? – Discussion

[Andy Neels]

I really liked Kyle’s reference to it NOT being purposeful practice when teachers just read the sticky note from last year (and all the years before) and assign the same questions. We need to know our students and provide practice based on your constant assessment in class. Vertical surfaces have been the way to go for me once I have the problems for the students to figure out for the purposeful practice. Its great to see their work and how they use each others work to advance their own thinking.
