Redoing

Practice makes perfect! Simply trying something once doesn’t mean learning has occurred and, even if it has, we have no guarantee that the learning is generalizable. Repetition in different settings or situations can cement learning beyond the teaching environment and make it the student’s own by letting them try it out in life. These are some best practices for redoing classroom learning in a different environment.

Resource	Summary
Repetition http://www.audiblox2000.com/repetition.htm	This resource makes a strong case for repetition and drill as an effective means to reach “automaticity” and mastery.
Structured practice http://www.education-world.com/a_curr/columnists/jones/jones006.shtml	This resource begins with the packaging of lessons (model of setting the stage, acquisition, and consolidation) and continues into structured practice (perfect practice not “drill and kill”).
