Case: What is your view on drill and practice? How and when would you use it? If you are asked this question in a job interview for a teaching position: What are some things you should avoid when responding to this question? What might be some important points to stress that would get the interviewer's attention? How would you respond to this question? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) As with most instructional strategies, there is a place for "drill and practice," or "skill and drill." As a coach, we make a living off teaching fundamentals and creating muscle memory through proper repetition. The old saying "practice makes perfect" is incorrect. Practice makes permanent. Therefore, practice must be completed properly in order to produce the desired result. For math purposes, skill and drill is time tested and proven. As a social studies teacher, skill and drill works well for learning vocabulary, dates, places, and people. However, they are do engage students at Level 3 and Level 4 of Webb's Depth of Knowledge model. |
