Validating the Need for Systemic Change: Standard Practice
Instructional Leadership TrainingFebruary 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?

Messages
• Performance plateaus when systems reach physical limits imposed by methods, strategies, and approaches
• New approaches take time to learn, practice, and perfect before performance surpasses that produced by the old system
• New effective methods are often developed by individuals not at the top level of performance using older techniques
