Behavior and Culture - Teach Like a Champion

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. Join facilitators Doug Lemov, Erica Woolway, and Colleen Driggs to prepare to deliver high quality training on Ratio.
The workshop explores three pathways teachers can follow to increase breadth of participation and depth of thinking: Writing, Discussion, and Questioning. Participants will leave equipped to train teachers on how to achieve the twin goals of all students participating fully and all students thinking deeply.
