Utilize Instructional Tools & Resources that Promote Differentiated Instruction & Deliberate Practice • Research suggests that a novice develops into an expert through an intricate process that includes: • Targeted practice in which one is engaged in developmentally appropriate activities • Real-time corrective feedback that is based on one’s performance • Intensive practice on a daily basis that provides results that monitor current ability • Distributed practice that provides appropriate activities over a long period of time (i.e., 5–10 years), which allows for monitoring growth towards expert performance • Self-directed practice for those times when a coach, mentor or teacher is not available Glaser, 1996; Kellogg, 2006; Shea & Paull, 1996; Wagner & Stanovich, 1996

Ideal Characteristics of Next Generation Instructional Tools and Resources • Assessment and instruction are blurred—to “mine the exhaust” of the instructional experience • Computer-adaptive engines are applied to “targeted” instructional content • Assessment engines connect day-to-day progress with year-to-year summative tests Excerpted from MetaMetrics’ white paper, “Next-Generation Assessments” (at www.Lexile.com).
