But how many hours is "enough" to achieve expertise status? One take on the subject we (and many others) found interesting was Malcolm Gladwell's in the book Outliers where he popularized the theory that 10,000 hours of dedicated practice in a given field or area of expertise allows a person to become truly "expert".

Quoted from post: More and more in recent years, we've started referring to the kids in our classes as "learners" rather than "students." It began unintentionally but became more and more frequent. We gradually realized that the relationship between learner and educator is not always the same as between student and teacher.
Beth Dichter's insight:
Do you think of the children in your class as learners or students? Do you think of yourself as a teacher or an educator? And how do you define these words: learner, student, teacher, educator. This post explores how the word learner differs from the word student. One statement in the post "The word "learner" suggests an open-mindedness and a self-initiation. The word "student," however, implies a hierarchy. It defines a status, where one is the instructor and the other is the pupil." If we view our classroom as individuals whom are learners then what is the role of the educator? The five ideas listed below are explored: * Expertise * Mentorship * Feedback * Deftness with necessary tools The first post in this series (of two) explored '5 Things Students Expect from their Teacher' was scooped here). This post continues the dialogue and may provide you with some new insights into how you view yourself in your classroom this year...food for though.

What does it take to become an expert in a field? This infographic explores this concept, providing a look based on Malcolm Gladwell's book as well as a section called "7 steps to cheat the rule."
