A practical resource to make the 49 techniques your own.

In his acclaimed book Teach Like a Champion, Doug Lemov shares 49 essential techniques used by excellent teachers. In his companion Field Guide, he further explores those techniques in a practical workbook. With the Teach Like a Champion Field Guide, teachers have an indispensable resource that complements their classroom application of Lemov’s techniques.

For each technique, hands-on learning is supported by numerous activities that are designed to accompany the practitioner on the journey to become a champion teacher. The activities span three stages: learning the techniques, preparing to use the techniques, and actual practice.

The book includes thirty video clips of champion teachers with analysis from the author. It also includes helpful charts for teachers to track their own progress and to record feedback from colleagues. This is a must-have workbook for every teacher, from beginner to veteran. It’s also a great tool for professional development and study groups.

Most importantly, by using the Field Guide, teachers will be prepared to successfully unlock the talent and skill in all their students.
