PRAISE FOR
PRACTICE PERFECT
I I I
“The
critical difference between
‘good-enough’
and exemplary is not talent or
desire. It’s practice. Deliberate practice. That’s why
Practice Perfect
is such an
immensely important book. It’s the
first
to provide evidence-based rules, rich
examples, and detailed techniques on how to design and conduct practice routines.
If you want to improve your own—or someone else’s—performance, you’ve got to
read this book. The authors have given everyone a great gift in
Practice Perfect.
They’ve
handed over the key that unlocks excellence. Take that key and use it. Now.”

“Doug
Lemov has done it again. In
Practice Perfect,
one of America’s best teachers
widens his focus to help all of us move ever closer to mastery. If you are interested
in getting better at anything (or helping someone else get better), then this book,
with its excellent collection of techniques and tools, should be your
field
guide.”

“There
are no shortcuts to success, whether it be in education, sports, or business.
The authors of
Practice Perfect
provide a clear-cut, commonsense blueprint for
what we all need to know to create practice habits that ensure permanent, sus-
tainable results. I especially hope all aspiring teachers read this book. Trans-
forming our public schools isn’t going to be easy, but it can be done through
hard work and the right kind of practice—the kind taught explicitly in this book.”

“Practice
Perfect
will provide a recipe for organizations that are committed to their
people—to helping them grow and get better in simple but powerful—and
perhaps overlooked—ways.
Practice Perfect
will create the conditions I believe
necessary to equip schools, school leaders, and teachers with the tools essential
for student success.”

Brizard, chief executive officer, Chicago Public Schools

“Just
like
Teach Like a Champion, Practice Perfect
is a treasure trove full of perfectly
polished, just the right size
‘gems.’
I couldn’t read it fast enough. I wanted to
quickly pick up each of the ideas the three authors crafted and
figure
out how to
bring the practices into my own work. Building on the work of the Heath
brothers, Atul Gawande, Daniel Coyle, Marcus Buckingham, Daniel Willingham,
and others, the authors take a classic problem—the gap between knowing what to
do and actually doing it—and provide forty-two wise and practical
‘rules’
to close
that gap. Each rule is grounded in a story and related in a familiar tone, making it
a fast and fun, and often even funny, read. Each of the rules is a concrete,
actionable means to help ourselves and those we are coaching or managing to do
the very thing it is we want to do but have not
figured
out how to do yet.”

Kirkpatrick, vice president of education, Aspire Public Schools

“Practice
Perfect
sets a new bar for how to practice and will be a resource that I will
return to time and again. The way that I will lead practice won’t only be better on
Monday, but every day.”

“It’s
become conventional wisdom that the path to excellence—no matter
whether you’re a surgeon looking to hone your craft or a teacher looking for
help with classroom management—is paved with hours and hours of practice. In
this book the authors provide practical guidance, grounded in forty-two concrete
and actionable
‘rules,’
for how anyone can use carefully selected, but relatively
simple tasks to ensure these hours of practice lead to excellence.”
