Teach Like a Champion


I am not sure about everyone else but I am ready for Christmas!  Shannon and I were fortunate enough to go to the Teach Like A Champion Conference.  To hear the effects of TLaC on schools was amazing.  Both of us came back energized to try some of the techniques.  I wanted to share a video of my class after day 3 of implementing Cold Call (Pg-112-125 TlaC) with an extended wait time.  The extended wait time has been very effective in the class. 

The students did ask why we were changing questioning and I explained the theory behind it.  I was amazing to see their reaction that we (teachers) are learning to be better teachers.  With that said I am so NOT perfect at this.  I should have taped it from the front and instead of answering the one question having another student answer it.  Also, I am trying hard to remember to say “waiting on scholars” instead of numbers.  With that said my class participation has gone up tremendously. 

 

Hope you enjoy.
