We spent some time today beginning to take a look at the book The Talent Code by Daniel Coyle. The subtitle is Greatness Isn't Born, It's Grown. The book is broken into three sections:
Deep Practice, Ignition (Motivation), and Master Coaching.
Our first round of impacting quotes today circled around the struggle necessary in deep practice.
A dilemma that evolved over the discussion was:
How do we balance teacher expectations and 9th graders expectations in a way to lead to struggles but not course failures?
We agreed to read the first section on Deep Practice though the lens of the above dilemma.

So with our PLC, we agreed that our topic is:
