Deliberate Practice in GCSE theory PE

Now that the academic year of 17/18 is officially concluded with GCSE results been published yesterday and the new year starting just next week it is a great time to be reflective but most importantly it is a great time to be very honest in your reflections. I have always believed through honest reflections we improve most. I have completed my first year delivering GCSE theory content (AQA) and I can proudly reflect on good lessons I planned and I am especially happy with the range of revision tasks/worksheets/games I created which have had a positive impact on my student's attainment (all of which shared on my twitter account). However, as much as you look back at what you did well you must be critical and one of the big improvements I hope to make this year is embedding more deliberate practice into my classroom. I am guilty at times of "rushing" through a topic and not properly checking for understanding. Have you ever been in this situation? You have 20 minutes left
