Full course description
What distinguishes champion spellers from their peers? Deliberate
practice. According to the research of Dr. Anders Ericsson, deliberate
practice "entails engaging in a focused, typically planned training
activity designed to improve some aspect of performance. During
deliberate practice, individuals receive immediate informative feedback
on their performance and can then repeat the same or similar tasks with
full attention toward changing inferior or incorrect responses, thus
improving the identified area of weakness." All champions engage in
deliberate practice - champion spellers, athletes, musicians, even
surgeons. In this course, leaders will have multiple opportunities to
engage in deliberate practice focused on the super levers of leadership,
such that they can be champions for their students and teachers.
