Design a deliberate practice plan for achieving a meaningful goal in your life. Choose something that genuinely matters to you—getting into graduate school, becoming an exceptional parent, developing a Christlike attribute, mastering a professional skill, improving a relationship, or any other important endeavor. In a well-organized essay, present a concrete plan for improvement in this area that demonstrates your understanding of Ericsson et al.’s research on deliberate practice. Your response should address how you would actually apply the principles of deliberate practice to this goal, including consideration of whether your chosen domain represents a kind or wicked learning environment and what implications this has for your plan. Length: Write enough to demonstrate real understanding, but keep it under 500 words. (If you hit 501 words, I won’t hunt you down, but if you’re at 750 words, you’ve confused “thorough” with “unable to edit.” Remember: brevity is the soul of wit, and also of not making people weep while grading a stack of essays.) Your grade will be based on: How well you demonstrate understanding of what deliberate practice actually is (versus mere experience or repetition) The quality and specificity of your improvement plan How effectively you apply deliberate practice principles to your chosen goal Your consideration of kind versus wicked learning environments and their implications for expertise development Note: We’re assessing the theoretical soundness of your plan and your understanding of deliberate practice principles—you are not required to actually implement this plan. Though if you do implement it and become amazing at something, I’ll take partial credit.
