List member, Ruth Manna, showed me these video clips of effective teaching practices from Doug Lemov's new book, Teach Like a Champion. When she was at ASCD conference in March, there was a lot of buzz about Doug Lemov's new book and DVD. The target group for his book is new teachers in urban schools, but we can all learn from Lemov's taxonomy of effective teaching practices. Lemov's position is that average, run-of-the-mill teachers can become highly effective teachers, if only they'd adopt very specific techniques of outstanding teachers. The clips are streamed through YouTube, so they may not be viewable from school if you're filtered... -- The URL: http://www.uncommonschools.org/usi/aboutUs/taxonomy.php ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ This is the_teacher_list mailing list, managed by FreeLists.org.
