The Sim Zone Framework for Learning

The concept of sim zones introduces a structured approach to skill acquisition, categorized into four distinct phases: crawl, walk, run. Zone zero represents the foundational knowledge needed to understand the context and rationale behind actions, ensuring learners know when and how to apply skills correctly. As one progresses to zone one and two, training becomes more action-focused, emphasizing immediate feedback and on-the-spot corrections to prevent the formation of bad habits. This deliberate practice model seeks to provide clarity and confidence, helping individuals build competence and perform effectively during real-life scenarios.
