What it looks like: "Teachers use frequent checks for understanding to know which concepts or skills students are struggling to master and reteach as needed to help students develop mastery. They also provide students with opportunities for deliberate practice, focusing on developing the skills and knowledge they are struggling to master."
Why it is important: "Research shows one key to elite performance is having a coach pressing performers to concentrate their practice on areas where they're needed most. Research has also found a much stronger effect for practice than homework, which suggests that homework assignments should be constructed as opportunities for deliberate practice."
(Goodwin & Hubbell, pg. 198)
