Teacher Doug Lemov observed hundreds of U.S. K-12 classrooms, analyzing outstanding teachers who have helped at-risk students develop into high achievers. He identified 49 techniques contributing to student success that can be employed by any teacher. Three local teachers—Soichi Ota, Satsuki Kojima and Ken Schmidt—have read his book, Teach Like a Champion, and will discuss ten of the ideas that interested/intrigued them most. Join us for a good time of exploration and discussion and pick up a few good tips for the classroom along the way. August 28. 14:00-17:00 followed by diner/drinks (optional). Venue: Shimin Kaikan, Conf. Rm. 2. Check http://jaltsendai.terapad.com/
