Teach Like a Champion: 49 Techniques that Put Students on the Path to College by Doug Lemov

If you are a teacher either at a school, college, or at your kitchen table, you will want to read this article "Building a Better Teacher"  and will probably want to order the book Teach Like a Champion: 49 Techniques that Put Students on the Path to College by Doug Lemov.

Mr. Lemov helped found UnCommon Schools, "a nonprofit organization that starts and manages outstanding urban charter public schools that close the achievement gap and prepare low-income students to graduate from college." UnCommon Schools is going to be even more wildly successful than ever before, as they had the good sense to hire our lovely niece Kara (or maybe it is Kara that is going to be more wildly successful than ever before, as she had the good sense to get hired: I don't rightly know).

Either way it is an interesting and informative article and I am looking forward to reading the book.
