The 5-Hour Rule Used by Bill Gates, Jack Ma and Elon Musk
That’s why the most successful people in the world spend their free time learning.

The concept is wonderfully simple: No matter how busy successful people are, they always “set aside at least an hour a day (or five hours a week) over their entire career for activities that can be classified as deliberate practice or learning.”
“Throughout Ben Franklin’s adult life, he consistently invested roughly an hour a day in deliberate learning. I call this Franklin’s five-hour rule: one hour a day on every weekday,”

Middle School Science Minute

You Are A Scientist
I was recently reading the July, 2018 issue of “Science Scope,” a magazine written for middle school science teachers, published by the National Science Teachers Association.
In this issue, I read the Commentary article, “When You Walk Into This Room, You’re Scientists,” written by S. Elisabeth Faller. The article describes the principles that all teachers can use to promote positive, science-linked identities. The principles include:
- Prioritize communication in science
- Position all students as scientists
- Allow students to be science authorities
- Demonstrate that science really matters

The way you greet your students tells them all they need to know about your class.
