Doug Lemov
Lemov believes that good teaching is like art, and like good art, there are particular techniques that produce the best results. This book outlines 49 such techniques in a clear format ready for teachers to begin using straight away. The book also includes 25 video examples of real teachers modelling the techniques in the classroom. There is also a companion website to help teachers access even more resources.
Among the techniques Lemov advocates is the ‘no opt out’ rule: not taking ‘I don’t know’ for an answer. There are the ‘Four Ms of lesson planning’: manageable, measureable, made first, and most important. And constant checks of pupil understanding, with speedy clarification if a misunderstanding has arisen.
Training and self-reflection exercises are included at the end of each chapter to help teachers utlise these techniques and work out which will benefit their teaching the most.
