Validating the Need for Systemic Change: Standard Practice Instructional Leadership Training February 5, 2013

Standard Practice Standard – Flag or other conspicuous object to serve as a rallying point for a military force From Old French estandart, probably from Frankish standhard, literally "stand fast or firm" – Authoritative or recognized exemplar of quality or correctness – Unit of measure From Anglo-French, is perhaps metaphoric, the royal standard coming to stand for royal authority in matters like setting weights and measures Source: Online Etymology Dictionary

Standard Practice Practice – To do or perform often, customarily, or habitually – To be professionally engaged in – To perform repeatedly to acquire skill Expertise and 10,000 hours of practice “In practically any job it is dedication to deliberate practice that makes you outstanding; it’s not talent.” “Deliberate practice is a demanding activity that is not inherently enjoyable.”

Questions What are we willing to stand fast and firm for? What are the standard processes and procedures that we follow when students don’t learn? How do we support teachers as they engage in the difficult work of deliberate practice?
