Or, you can teach like:
a Champion.
a Rockstar.
a Pirate.
a Techie.
it's Summer
or
or even (gods forbid) YOU!!
This post is in response to a requirement that I implement 3-5 of Doug Lemov's "Teach Like a Champion" techniques in my classroom. In truth, I already implement many of them, but do not do so consciously or consistently.
Although I am not opposed to exposure to and consideration of the effective teaching methods of others, I am vehemently opposed to being told exactly how I must teach, even when the tactics are administratively implemented in minuscule increments.
Sure, the effort here is to make me a better teacher, and I'm all for becoming better, but I will not be treated like a trained monkey, and I refuse to treat my students as such.
This could go on and on, and so it goes.
