Techniques from Teach Like a Champion (Lemov)
Technique 18: CHECK FOR UNDERSTANDING – Check for student understanding frequently while teaching by asking questions and through observation. First you need to gather the data, and then you need to respond to that data to insure learning occurs.
Technique 19: AT BATS – In baseball, to perfect your swing, you need as many “at bats” as possible. Similarly, students need lots of practice to master a new skill and solve questions in various formats. Some students reach mastery more quickly, so have bonus problems to push those students further.
EXIT TICKET – By collecting answers to one or a few questions at the end of class you can gather important information about student understanding. What percentage of your students got it right? What mistakes were made? What in your lesson might have led to the confusion? This short assessment provides critical insight and helps in designing the next day’s lesson.
TAKE A STAND – This technique gets students to actively make judgments about their peers’ answers. “Stand up if you agree with Alexis” or “Thumbs up if you think Dashawn is right.” The answers will help to inform your teaching, especially if you ask students to defend their answers, “Why is your thumb down, Keisha?”
