1. Discussion Notes from: Teach Like a Champion Chapters 1 & 2

2. Setting High Expectations Chapter 1

8. Planning that Ensures Academic Achievement Chapter 2

11. #8 Post It Post the objective so that students know what they are trying to do. A visitor (or supervisor) may feel, for example, that you are not using the right questions pertaining to a certain topic – until they see the objective

12. #9 Shortest Path The criteria is mastery – not interaction, creativity, design – take the shortest path to mastery When in doubt use I/We/You

13. #10 Double Plan Plan what you do and what they do every step of the lesson (e.g. taking notes? listening for differences?) Use a “Me” / “Them” T-chart Helps you to see the lesson from students’ viewpoint

14. #11 Draw the Map Think intentionally about room layout (desks, aisles, spaces) Don’t over-clutter walls but do post useful tools once a skill has been taught
