Fluency is Key to Mastery

In instructional methods, it is crucial not to overlook the 'we do' phase, often skipped, which is essential for achieving fluency. Teachers may effectively deliver content and engage interactively but risk neglecting the vital practice component. This practice should focus on smaller, isolated knowledge elements, allowing students to internalize and apply concepts quickly, rather than just pondering them. Emphasis on fluency enhances understanding and mastery of the material.
