Teach like a champion

Just before the winter break we had a visit here at TLAC Towers from our old friend Jillian Robinson- she's head of teaching and learning at Nanango State...

Hi guys! I just wanted to stop by and let you know I blogged over at The Elementary Chalkboard all about using "Do it Again" from Teach Like a Champion! Click the picture to head over!

Booklets are a brilliant tool in delivering an ambitious, knowledge-rich curriculum. While a curriculum can never be reduced to booklets, it can be highly codified in them and in doing so is much m…

Hello! Beth and I decided it would be great to start highlighting some different strategies from the book "Teach Like a Champion". If...

Let's talk classroom and behavior MGT. This is one of my favorite topics! I always tell my parents at Curriculum Night that I do not reward good behavior. Sound crazy right? Good behavior in Mrs. Schroeder's class is expected. Not something you do for a treat. I DO reward Extraordinary Behavior. What is the difference? Well good behavior is being quite in the hallway or not throwing pencils. (Really? they know better:) Extraordinary behavior is helping a friend who dropped a whole tub of…

Every classroom has that one student. They sit in the back corner, never visually seem as if they are paying attention, for all purposes it seems as if they are in their own world and they wish to…

What does it mean to "teach like a champion"? Can great teachers be reduced to, and developed by, a discrete set of tools and techniques?

Do you wish your students were better listeners? Teach them how to SLANT! I discovered SLANT while reading the book Teach Like a Champion. After implementing this acronym, I immediately saw an increase in student engagement and learning. It transformed the abstract idea of "listening" to something concrete that the students could demonstrate.

Slant poster by Iris Hinojosa -- this is based on the wonderful book "Teach Like a Champion" by Doug Lemov. Got to make another one for my classroom.

So I've been doing a lot of reading this summer! Namely--- the FANTASTICALLY STUPENDOUS-- Ron Clark . I read his books and feel like a LOUS...
