More About This Book

Overview

Teach Like a Champion offers effective teaching techniques to help teachers, especially those in their first few years, become champions in the classroom. These powerful techniques are concrete, specific, and are easy to put into action the very next day. Training activities at the end of each chapter help the reader further their understanding through reflection and application of the ideas to their own practice.

Among the techniques:

  • Technique #1: No Opt Out. How to move students from the blank stare or stubborn shrug to giving the right answer every time.
  • Technique #35: Do It Again. When students fail to successfully complete a basic task—from entering the classroom quietly to passing papers around—doing it again, doing it right, and doing it perfectly, results in the best consequences.
  • Technique #38: No Warnings. If you're angry with your students, it usually means you should be angry with yourself. This technique shows how to effectively address misbehaviors in your classroom.

The book includes a DVD of 25 video clips of teachers demonstrating the techniques in the classroom.

Note: CD-ROM/DVD and other supplementary materials are not included as part of eBook file.

    This is Education for the 21st Century?

    At first glance, this book seems like a dream come true - how does one truly master the art and craft of teaching - these 49 techniques should put anyone on the fast track....but unfortunately, from what I saw on the DVD, and read in the text, these techniques harken back to the stone age of education - where pupils are NOT engaged in thinking for themselves, but rather, are part of the "drill and thrill" mentality.

    I would be curious to see how the students identified perform on a longitudinal scale, when asked to engage in problem solving, or critical thinking.

    Powerful Teaching Techniques

    I am only half way through this book, Teach Like a Champion, and I can already tell it is going to have a HUGE positive impact on my public school teaching!! I am so glad Doug Lemov listened to Norman Atkins and published these techniques. I am going to tell anyone that will listen that they need to read this book...NOW!! What I value the most are the video clips. Seeing it in action, the ability to replay it and seeing how the students respond are extremely valuable to me. Thank you, Mr. Lemov, for 5 years of investigation and dedication!

    This is a great book!

    I'm only half way through, but I'm enjoying this book and find that it's very helpful. The DVD that shows each strategy in use is also wonderful. I'm pleased that I've already successfully incorporated many of the strategies in this book, prior to reading it. Nevertheless, it's a good affirmation and review.

    Highly Recommended for Beginning Teachers; Useful for Master Teachers and Mentors!

    Teach Like a Champion, by Doug Lemov is a collection of techniques aimed at improving everyday teaching techniques. The author has been involved in small school reform movements among urban poor populations. The techniques in the book are drawn from those experiences. Lemov is careful to describe his approaches as techniques aimed at specific situations rather than educational strategies, which he believes are more generalized approaches. The text is divided into eleven chapters focused on a particular area, such as high academic expectations and engagement. Each chapter then contains five or more specific techniques to improve the area of focus, as well as reflection and practice activities. A DVD is also included with videos of most teaching techniques described in the text.

    This text would be a great reference or how to guide for novice teachers. The techniques are focused, clearly described, and quick to implement. Although the book is written in a style novice teachers will find useful, the text is also user-friendly for experienced teachers as well. If I am working on my student questioning techniques, I can look it up in the table of contents and immediately have five to eleven strategies at my immediate disposal. Each technique is a quick read and if I still need clarity about the strategy I can reference the video. Teach Like a Champion would be a great text to use for one's own professional development library, staff development, or focused intervention strategies with a struggling teacher.

    Excellent information not taught in teacher training courses in college

    I just received my teaching certificate in New York and found this book to be full of very concrete, useful information that was not taught in any of my courses. I learned a lot and plan to include some of these techniques this fall when I start teaching. T feel there is a tremendous need for successful classroom management methods to be specifically taught to prospective teachers. I do wish there was more in this book related directly to high school students, but as the author's schools included younger students that appears to be the type of students directly discussed.

    This books deals with the fundamentals of teaching. This book gives 49 very specific and clear ways on using routines, procedures, and classroom management. These will not take long to learn and implement. I agreed with over 40 of his strategies. I have chosen to ignore the few I don't see implementing. How wonderful to have all these 40+specific ways to get students to better listen and engage in the classroom. I have found these "little" things make a big difference in my classroom in getting students to listen ad perform better.

    This book doesn't pretend to have highly engaging and exciting activities. There are plenty of other books for that, and I encourage all educators to find such books or resources. This book will help all educators from rookies to those experienced. With the challenging behavior we are seeing in the classroom, this will be an important book for those in grades 2-12. I wouldn't recommend it to grades K and 1.

    Great book but overrated

    I found most of the techniques to be intuitive and already things most teachers already do, but developing a common lingo is very useful across classrooms. The accompanying video is great but very basic common sense approaches to classroom management. A must read but it won't solve your problems.

    OK for Strategy

    As a teacher who reads a lot of books on everything from pedagogy to inspiration, I would say this book is useful if you are looking for technique and strategy, especially if you're teaching in a challenging environment. I was tired of books on strategy alone and needed to get the feeling for teaching back into my heart, so I have been enjoying books like Chicken Soup for a Teacher, or the book I recently bought, Buddha in the Classroom; Zen Wisdom to Inspire Teachers, which I thoroughly loved.
