"Practice Makes Perfect"....no truer words have been spoken.  Practice....Practice...Practice.....Practice.   This process makes since except for the fact that most practices are not grounded in proven effective and efficient, research based concepts.

Spending time instructing students in concepts not attached to "proven" instructional practices will only serve to make them appear to be learning.

Over time they move further away from where they started.  Beginning with a plan steeped in effective and efficient practices ensures a positive learning experience.
