Video clips: 2.0 will feature 75 new video clips of real teachers demonstrating the techniques in their classrooms. The DVD will still be included in the print book, but both print and e-book users will have the option to access their videos online. To access the video, please see the instructions on how to create an account using your unique PIN, located near the back of the book. Regardless of the format you own (print or e-book), you can access the video clips on our website, www.teachlikeachampion.org.
“See It in Action”: Sometimes it’s just better to see a teacher use a technique in a classroom than to try to picture it. Throughout the book, “See It in Action” boxes encourage you to learn from champion teachers during exemplary moments by coupling video with brief analysis. “Want More?”: Techniques, in practice, are about as varied as the teachers who use them. “Want More?” boxes try to eliminate some of the mystery by presenting different takes on a number of techniques. Sidebars: Several ideas that were techniques in the first version of the book are still included in 2.0 as a sidebar. This structure builds a more implicit hierarchy into the book. Throughout the book, sidebars were incorporated to (1) include additional guidance on existing techniques, (2) share brand-new ideas never discussed in version 1.0, or (3) repackage a 1.0 technique in a more stand-alone setting. “Reflection and Practice”: Reflection and Practice questions at the end of each chapter provide time and space to pause and examine your own teaching, as well as how you might effectively leverage champion techniques in your classroom. Useful Tools: At the end of each chapter, you’ll find artifacts to support your implementation of the techniques in your classroom and within your school. Many of the tools are located only on the companion website, www.teachlikeachampion.org, so please be sure to access the documents there. You’ll be able to download and modify these tools to fit your particular needs. (Please note that you’ll need to create an account using your unique PIN in order to access this content online.) |
