The 10,000 Hour Rule

I am a big believer in providing students multiple opportunities for practice. In the book Outliers by Malcolm Galdwell, the author proposes that 10,000 hours of practice is the critical minimum level of practice for excellence at performing complex tasks. While the number is debatable, the idea that practice is vital for success is significant. Educators should embrace the idea since it can have a positive impact on students' learning. As a result, teachers should design their classroom and daily instruction to include multiple opportunities for practice. Here is a excellent example from our school where the classroom is designed for students to gain multiple opportunities for practice in representing numbers.
