To ensure all students succeed academically, champion teachers deliver instruction that maximizes Ratio , or the number of students who actively participate and the depth of the thinking they do. Achieving rigor for all students is the central goal of the Common Core standards. Join facilitators Doug Lemov, Erica Woolway, Colleen Driggs, and Hilary Lewis to prepare to deliver high quality training on Ratio .

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
Our workshops are delivered using a “Train the Trainer” model. We prepare instructional leaders and school leadership teams to deliver excellent training on Teach Like a Champion techniques. Schools typically send a team of two to five instructional leaders and teachers in order to build capacity within school teams to lead and implement Teach Like a Champion techniques back at their schools.
