Lemov's Teach Like a Champion

Lemov offers 49 techniques for teaching.

The Common Core of Teaching (CCT) articulates the knowledge, skills and qualities that Connecticut teachers need in order to prepare students to meet the challenges of the 21st century.

You are to read the Lemov techniques and identify one CCT indicator (e.g. 1.2 Demonstrating discipline-specific knowledge and skills as described in the relevant national and state professional teaching standards;) that is aligned with each technique. You will do this in two parts.

Part I: for the technique listed below you will post a comment on this blog post listing each technique followed by the code and wording for the indicator (example above). Due Sunday,  May 25 by 11PM. (You will not respond to classmates for this post.)
Techniques for Part I: 1, 6, 12, 22, 28, 36, 43

Part II: present the rest of the techniques on a WORD document using the Template for Reflections (header). For these you will type the Lemov technique (title and number) followed by the CCT indicator code. You do NOT need to include the sentence for the indicator. E.g. #51 Paint it Pink - 7.3 (I made these up). This will be due June 22 (first day) in methods as a hard copy.
