Wishing everyone a fun, relaxing and enjoyable summer experience!
Fellow teachers (or intrigued community members) while out on the beach here is a must read for the start of the new year!
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.[1]

For the past few weeks Teach Like A Champion is the book I picked up whenever there was a spare moment. Now, that I am almost finished with this book I cannot help but blog for the purpose of raving about it.
You will find yourself reading and saying "oh, I can't wait to try this out in the classroom". Then on the very next page you'll come across another technique that you just can't pass up. I definitely recommend having a stack of post-its on hand before you begin!
If you have the opprotunity to read this book please write to me at munis@veronaschools.org. I would like to hear about your experience with the text!
