A different approach

"It's learning that must be at the heart of a lesson, not just accurate information. Research shows that doing drills, trying to copy expert models, or following 'how to' directions are not as useful as we once believed. 'Here's my money, tell me what to do,' is not the most efficient approach to progress. Studies reveal that many approaches to instruction are often just a reaction to poor habits and are not using proactive steps that help people's ability to learn. By improving someone's learning potential, you improve performance potential."
