About this listen

Author Doug Lemov offers the essential tools of the teaching craft so that you can unlock the talent and skill waiting in your students, no matter how many previous classrooms, schools, or teachers have been unsuccessful. This must-have resource is filled with concrete, specific, and actionable classroom teaching techniques that you can start using in your classroom tomorrow.

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.

Critic reviews

"Doug Lemov knows that teachers can create powerful learning environments that will help all students make dramatic progress. With Teach Like A Champion, teachers across the country will be better prepared to wake up on Monday morning and help their students climb the mountain to college. This book provides more evidence that highly effective teaching is learnable - that many more teachers can draw from the tactics of their most successful colleagues in order to realize educational equity." (Wendy Kopp, chief executive officer and founder of Teach For America)

I was recommended this book by a fellow student placed in my school who is following another course. I found this book useful and I am glad I had it on audible and not in book format as it allowed me to quickly work through it looking for tips I was not aware of. This is an american system book and does cover a lot of the processes followed in the English school systems but are called by different names. It offers a different perspective with many examples. I am glad I have read the book but would prefer to carry on looking for one that is more appropriate to my current teacher training in the UK

I was forced to read this book by my boss. I found after just a few chapters I wanted to call a suicide hotline.
I then downloaded the audio book, and endured endless hours listening to it while stuck in traffic
. I amply recommend it to be used as a torture technique in Guantanamo Bay.
I made a final attempt to try to find a positive for the book by watching the DVD that comes with it. I am currently in therapy due to exposure.

Inspired? Not by this. My attention was lost every couple of minutes as I drove my 60 minutes journey to work. What did I recall? hardly anything of value. The constant reference to teachers as she was also an indication of its outdated editing. May have structural value but this too can be found in the last 4 interesting and engaging books on teaching strategies I read. A very empirical approach to writing that dilutes the messages within.
Maybe it will work for you?

outdated mind numbing writing
