Doug Lemov and his Network of Uncommon Schools
A friend of mine sent me this New York Times article filled with amazing videos. Be sure to read the article and watch each one of the five short videos that accompany it. After you are inspired, and you will be, pass it on to a friend.
Building a Better Teacher
by Elizabeth Green
I enjoyed Green article in the Times and am now reading Lemov’s book. I teach Lit and Comp in a urban high school where the students are used to talking all the time. I’m excited about putting into practice many of Lemov’s techniques, but I have one important question before I begin, what are some specific techniques to help high school students learn to stop talking so they can learn?
Thanks,
about to be a third year teacher.
