This two-hour overview will introduce you to a specific set of techniques and processes that can move your students from compliance to engagement then achievement in record time. Champion Teaching combines the proven habits and strategies promoted by Eric Jensen (Teaching with Poverty in Mind), Dough Lemov (Teach Like a Champion) and Mitch Weathers (Executive Functions for the Classroom). The overall purpose of Champion Teaching is to promote student achievement through structure, discipline and motivation.
We begin with a focus on classroom organization and management with teacher behaviors that promote classroom safety, predictability and stability. Second, we identify the procedures that create and sustain strong instructional planning and execution. Then, we introduce a set of proven instructional behaviors found in Explicit Teaching that can produce marked academic improvement in a short amount of time. We end with ideas of how you can begin this work at your school or district.
This overview provides the information you need to make decisions about possibility bringing Champion Teaching to your school or district for a one- or two-day complete training. We will adjust the training in any way you and your staff may need.
With so many new, alternatively certified and pre-service teachers in our classrooms, Champion Teaching may be just what your staff needs to move management and instruction forward.
