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.

Just wanted to say that I've been pleasantly surprised by how useful I've found Lemov's terminology while completing my observation days. Having a handy name for many of the actions I see has really made note-taking and spotting patterns of behaviors among great teachers much easier!
ReplyDeleteI haven't posted my 'real' post yet, just came on to clarify in was working on then right techniques...but I was happy to find your comment, as I agree. Thus far this book really has gotten my wheels spinning. It's great to both identify these techniques in others as well as start to envision them for ourselves. Having them formatted well and given easy-to-remember names is very helpful. I can see including some points for the course outline for students given at the beginnig of then school year, so that my expectations are in black and white right out of then starting gate. Great stuff!
DeleteFrom Randy:
DeleteSounds like great connections are being made. Lemov is excellent and the CCT is the basis for teacher evaluations.
The more I read the book and really spend time with Common Core, I realize how little the focus is on the actual learning of the content, but that a majority of strategies and expectations are focused on creating the environment for learning to happen. The role of the teacher is not to teach, but to promote learning. It's a philosophy I've always believed in, and it's encouraging and exciting to see it listed out so succinctly within the state standards. I really like how these expectations are presented in Common Core, as well as what it is they are actually calling for.
