Lemov: Teach Like a Champion
Technique Key Idea / Description
Setting High Academic Expectations
1. No Opt
Out
2. Right Is
Right
3. Stretch It
4. Format
Matters
5. Without
Apology
A sequence that begins with a
student unwilling or unable to
answer a question ends with that
student giving the right answer as
often as possible even if they only
repeat it.
Set and defend a high standard of
correctness in your classroom
A sequence of learning does not
end with the right answer; reward
right answers with follow up
questions that extend knowledge
and test for reliability (DI)
It’s not just what students say that
matters but how they
communicate it. To succeed,
students must take their
knowledge and express it in the
language of opportunity.
The skill of not apologizing for
students is critical not only in the
introduction and framing of
material but in reacting to
students’ response to it.
Planning That Ensures Academic Achievement
6. Begin with
the End
Teaching by methodically asking
how one day’s lesson builds off the
previous day’s, prepares for the
next day’s and how these three fit
into a larger sequence of
objectives that leads to mastery.
