I had just finished reading Small Teaching by Dr. James Lang. He devoted an entire chapter to the concept of practicing. It certainly generated a lot of ideas.

When I was in the Air Force, practicing was central to everything we did as we improved our knowledge and skills. I, like Dr. Lang, believe more can be done in our classrooms to help students become more successful.
