Part 2-"Procedural Fluency" in Math

2nd article by David Ginsburg about procedual fluency.  Do you understand what "procedural fluency" really means?  This often misunderstood phrase from Common Core is clarified in this article.
This post is very important to us as teachers.  Definition by National Research Council ---
"Procedural fluency refers to knowledge of procedures, knowledge of when and how to use them appropriately, and skill in performing them flexible, accurately, and efficiently." 
Now you know!  Can we do all this in T1?  What ideas can we use in our small group math classes?  How can we collaborate with our classroom teachers about procedural fluency?
