Teach Like a Champion

ACELearn is proud to support teachers and leaders with a Teach Like a Champion© face-to-face 1-day program.

This workshop focuses on the techniques that champion teachers use to instantly bring accountability to the classroom.

Upon completing this program, you will be equipped to return to your school and implement Teach Like a Champion© in your classroom and have the materials to train others in the TLAC techniques.

Challenges

There are many reasons why students may avoid active participation in the classroom. Often students want to offer up answers in class but they are reluctant to for a number of reasons: they are reluctant to take ‘intellectual risks’; they prefer to ‘opt out’ when they are unsure or uncomfortable; they are unwilling to answer questions or engage in discussions due to fear of being wrong (or right) too often; perfectionism or a lack of confidence.

Additionally, how do you determine the collective thinking and learning of an entire class when some students rarely respond?

Solutions

Effective teachers make students feel safe and successful even as they require them to be accountable and attentive. Teach Like a Champion© provides educators with a set of techniques, a shared vocabulary, and a framework for practice that equip teachers to achieve dramatic results with their students. These interconnected techniques promote equity and social justice and connect to insights in cognitive science.

The social nature of learning is very much recognised and embedded in TLAC techniques and the program aims to deliberately design classrooms to ensure the most supportive culture for young people.

There are few techniques that can transform a learning environment for the better as quickly as Cold Call. In addition to learning this technique in detail with video demonstrations and practice sessions, many other techniques are explored and connected to pedagogical practice based on the work of John Hattie and Dylan Wiliam.
