Outliers Summary: Outliers break norms.Opportunity
This book The Outliers by Malcom Gladwell is
a contribution to the arts that teaches us through storytelling that we need to
do things in a collaborative way to find success. For success to occur there is
a group of factors that need occur such as opportunity, meaningful work, and
your cultural legacy. Success is not just about anyone’s innate ability.
Malcom Gladwell speaks about other
factors for success such as chance. Things one cannot control such as your
birth date, where you were born and being in the right place influence the
opportunities one might ultimately have.
10,000
mastery hours
To gain mastery of something it takes 20 hrs. week for 10 years. Those
are the numbers and there is no easy quick fix to that. There are People who have the chance to
collect the 10,000 hours while others do not.
In terms of a legacy, we are handed
down our values from our families. I am Italian and we have very different
values say form others from Hathi. Teachers must do their own reflection on how
this may be a bias in how they see children and their behaviors and learning
styles.
This
relates to the class in how some children do not have access to educational
resources due to socioeconomic conditions. Wealthier children have more time
and access to coaching and fine arts lessons that can increase their skills at
a faster rate.
Legacy
Family values are passed down. How we are
brought up leads to opportunity. Wealthier parents are involved with their
children and talk with them more. The wealthier children go on trips in the
summer and art museums and have more experiences to learn from in the summer
when instruction stops. Children of wealthier families get tutors and help with
their homework. They are taught self-advocacy and are less likely to settle for
a no at the first time and do not give up.
How
you are brought up and opportunity
How a child has been brought up will
determine their future success. This relates to our class in how some students
of the wealthier parents get privileges, that the lower income students do not.
The teacher needs to be aware of the possibility of treating some students one
way and others another way due to economic status. the teacher needs to be
aware of having low expectations for the lower income students. Educated
families teach their children the right to assert sells and advocate.
This relates to our class in the need for the
teacher to beware of where the child’s up bringing from a cultural perspective
to understand both the child’s learning styles and their ability to grasp topics.
Teachers must look at those who have opportunities and those who do not and
why.
Finding
Meaningful daily work
As
humans we need to feel that there is a bigger Why or purpose to the work we are
doing. Having a Why will help in motivation. Meaningful work makes you want to
accomplish the work and go the extra mile. Dr. Saint John spoke of remembering
the why of what you are doing. This
relates to the class in teacher motivation and self-efficacy collaborative
school efficacy and most important motivation for students.
When there is an opportunity grab it. Timing
is very Critical to gaining success and opportunity. This relates to our class
when Dr. Saint John told us to grab a chance or a risk when you can and to use
faith when you do so that the resources and the right people will show up when
you need them to get the job done.
This book relates to my personal study in that
it looks at the diversity population and assists me in seeing how that
diversity may be a lens that needs to be accounted for in collecting data especially
in the per service education of the general education K-6 teachers and their demographics.
This book has also assisted in my looking at my
own background and what lens I am looking through to see how this may be a
possible bias in the study as a researcher. For my research study I need look
at what teacher candidates will do best and how this mindset is affected by a
cultural shaped by meaning full work. An example would be to look at
demographic data and How this would affect teachers working with students with Autism.
