Teach Like a Champion Chapter 8 and 9:

Chapter 8 Improving your Pace:

pacing is the illusion of speed – the rate at which the lesson makes that material

Appear to unfold. It’s the perception that you are moving quickly.

Change the pace (although this risks exacerbating the problem of shortness of attentions span)
Brighten Lines - making activities begin and end crisply and visible

Every minute matters – vocab review in bus line, math facts in hallway, read aloud

While getting ready for home.
“Time is water in the desert, a teacher’s most precious resource”

Work the Clock - take 3 min to review questions, count down 5, 4, 3, etc. we can do this in 10!

Chapter 9 Challenging Students to think Critically:

Simple to Complex - engage students with fact questions then build to more complex

Raised their hand. They will be unprepared if you change the wording of original ?

Clear and Concise - start with question word (what, where, why), limit to 2 clauses

Write ?? in advance, assume the answer ( WHO will tell me….)

Hit Rate – when kids get answer 100% time to ask harder ??? keep challenging critically, with higher level thinking.
