Product Description
Teach Like a Champion offers effective teaching techniques to help teachers, especially those in their first few years, become champions in the classroom. These powerful techniques are concrete, specific, and are easy to put into action the very next day. Training activities at the end of each chapter help the reader further their understanding through reflection and application of the ideas to their own practice.

Among the techniques:

• Technique #1: No Opt Out. How to move students from the blank stare or stubborn shrug to giving the right answer every time.
• Technique #35: Do It Again. When students fail to successfully complete a basic task?from entering the classroom quietly to passing papers around?doing it again, doing it right, and doing it perfectly, results in the best consequences.
• Technique #38: No Warnings. If you're angry with your students, it usually means you should be angry with yourself. This technique shows how to effectively address misbehaviors in your classroom.

Valuable
For the price, this is a very helpful book. I needed it for one of my college classes, but I think that every person aspiring to be a more effective teacher or coach would benefit greatly from this book.

don't miss this..if you're teaching k-12
I've been teaching for 20+ yrs...and still picked up more than a few tips I missed over the decades!It's well written,an easy read and can be read in segments.(very practical tips)
I also got this book as a present for my niece who just started teaching a year ago...
...The DVD which comes with the book, is a plus for those of us that need "the visual!"

Teaching Strategies
This book had a few great tips that I use and implement in my classroom now that I hadn't used before.Most ideas and strategies I already use but for a new teacher, this book would be extremely useful.I loved his approach and outline on how to use this book for procedures for the classroom.

This Is Actually Pretty Good, Thank You!
Like your typical veteran teacher, I'm deeply suspicious of quick fixes.This book details a number of helpful teaching techniques that are effective, particularly with low-income students who would seem to be unlikely candidates for academic success.

I've started using them, and it's been a pleasant surprise to see how effective they are.

I recommend this book highly!

An Excellent Work
I ordered this for my wife - here is her review:

Teach Like a Champion is excellent, so far as I have read. Very clearly written (though with a few copy-editing oversights). The techniques explained can be learned and used by anyone who works with children. If every teacher in America had a copy of this book and took it to heart, teacher effectiveness would soar and we would go a long way to solving our education "crisis."

From the supplier: The study of psychology and ethics should be a distinct discipline called psychoethics for several reasons. There is a positive association between the ethical nature of a decision and the psychological background of the decision maker. Results of a study of four individuals highlight the relationship between psychological theory and ethical, moral development. Moreover, studies may be developed to determine what psychological traits may lead to unethical decision making and how these characteristics may be altered to ensure more ethical decision making.
