The First 20 Hours
Author: Josh Kaufman
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101623047
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
Forget the 10,000 hour rule— what if it’s possible to learn the basics of any new skill in 20 hours or less? Take a moment to consider how many things you want to learn to do. What’s on your list? What’s holding you back from getting started? Are you worried about the time and effort it takes to acquire new skills—time you don’t have and effort you can’t spare? Research suggests it takes 10,000 hours to develop a new skill. In this nonstop world when will you ever find that much time and energy? To make matters worse, the early hours of practicing something new are always the most frustrating. That’s why it’s difficult to learn how to speak a new language, play an instrument, hit a golf ball, or shoot great photos. It’s so much easier to watch TV or surf the web . . . In The First 20 Hours, Josh Kaufman offers a systematic approach to rapid skill acquisition— how to learn any new skill as quickly as possible. His method shows you how to deconstruct complex skills, maximize productive practice, and remove common learning barriers. By completing just 20 hours of focused, deliberate practice you’ll go from knowing absolutely nothing to performing noticeably well. Kaufman personally field-tested the methods in this book. You’ll have a front row seat as he develops a personal yoga practice, writes his own web-based computer programs, teaches himself to touch type on a nonstandard keyboard, explores the oldest and most complex board game in history, picks up the ukulele, and learns how to windsurf. Here are a few of the simple techniques he teaches: Define your target performance level: Figure out what your desired level of skill looks like, what you’re trying to achieve, and what you’ll be able to do when you’re done. The more specific, the better. Deconstruct the skill: Most of the things we think of as skills are actually bundles of smaller subskills. If you break down the subcomponents, it’s easier to figure out which ones are most important and practice those first. Eliminate barriers to practice: Removing common distractions and unnecessary effort makes it much easier to sit down and focus on deliberate practice. Create fast feedback loops: Getting accurate, real-time information about how well you’re performing during practice makes it much easier to improve. Whether you want to paint a portrait, launch a start-up, fly an airplane, or juggle flaming chainsaws, The First 20 Hours will help you pick up the basics of any skill in record time . . . and have more fun along the way.

100 Or Nothing
Author: Glen Coleman
Publisher: Independently Published
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 177
Book Description
In March of 2020, when the world was struck by COVID-19, Glen Coleman's high school in New Jersey became one of the thousand schools nationwide that were forced to pivot to online instruction. While so much about this new reality was unknown, Glen was certain of two things: 1) The year ahead would be an epic disruption. 2) He would write a book to help his fellow teachers not just survive but thrive. The result of his year-long effort is 100 or Nothing: Reimagining Success in the Classroom. Part memoir, part field guide, and part toolbox for the disheartened, Glen builds upon his extensive experience and exhaustive research during the most consequential year of our lifetime. As an educator who understood the need to exploit the power of digital technology with the introduction of laptops in the classroom in 2006, Glen reinvented his teaching. He now harnesses failure, teaches from the back of the classroom, puts students at the front of the classroom, and challenges them with "impossible" tests. With critical thinking as the goal, students workshop their responses to difficult questions in order to connect the classroom to the outside world. Readers will come to understand the need to think outside the box. When we create a system in which students learn from and support one another "all boats rise." "Glen's book is a must-read for anyone who wants to reclaim their love for teaching. It's also a manual for rethinking basic approaches. He is honest in his outlook, compelling in his insights, and creative in his use of technology." - Bill Librera, former NJ Commissioner of Education. "Glen has leveraged his 20-plus years of experience in the classroom, his innovations as an HP Teaching Fellow, and his epiphanies during COVID to craft compelling new teaching strategies that have applications far beyond the classroom. His insights that students fail their way to mastery, learn best collaboratively, and motivate each other to success are just as relevant for startups as they are for students: 100 or Nothing should be on every entrepreneur's desk." - Tony Coretto, NYSERDA Entrepreneur-in-Residence and 4-time Inc 5000 award-winning CEO "Teaching's been around since the dawn of civilization, so it's quite a feat to break new ground in pedagogy, yet Coleman seems to have done just that. His solutions to common classroom situations are innovative, and the evidence he presents to back up his points is persuasive. As someone who spent two decades in classrooms of one sort or another, I highly recommend his book to anyone ready for a fresh take on teaching." - Vincent Czyz, W. Faulkner-@. Wisdom Prize Winner for Short Fiction Excerpts I believe to ask is human, to pursue, divine. Great questions have the power to open minds, especially when we stop, listen, and engage in conversation with our students... Yes, I feel the stress of a society whose ties are fraying, but the question "What do you think?" still has the power to awaken young people. If we've become robots, perhaps a surviving corpuscle will remind our circuitry of when we were human: teaching meant deepening human bonds with course material, especially with young people. But if you're hankering to teach has not yet been crushed-may it never!-let this book spark your reinvention. Page 9 I try to instill in my students that learning requires not perfection but failure, not depression but a sense of humor. Learning checkmates everyone. Laugh. Try again. Finding the strength to get back up is the lesson. Page 14 It's not about the answer. It's not about the grade. It's not about technology. It's about students' voices, the challenge, and what results. Page 99
