Teach Like a Champion (TLAC) | Building Strong Classroom Culture | Exciting New Programme

For those of you familiar with teaching technique guru, Doug Lemov, you will already have an understanding and appreciation of his compelling work and wisdom in the classroom.

“When you want them to follow your directions, stand still. If you're walking around passing out papers, it looks like the directions are no more important than all of the other things you're doing. Show that your directions matter. Stand still.”

The more you read and reflect on Lemov learning, the more it makes perfect and practical sense to engage and empower the classroom practitioner.

Consider his “begin with the end” for unit planning, progressing to lesson planning by first defining the objective and then deciding how to assess and select the most appropriate lesson activities for the purpose. 

Logical, convincing and clear.

This Autumn Term, SWIFT are champion-pleased to introduce the “Teach Like a Champion - Building Strong Classroom Culture Train the Trainer Training” programme for schools.

Led by the US-based Trainers from Doug Lemov's worldwide training team, this exciting new SWIFT programme will be using some of the strategies from his best-selling book, 'Teach Like a Champion 3.0' to train up your designated leader to be a Champion in your school.

​By ‘Building Strong Classroom Cultures’ the programme is designed to build school cultures and practices that enable joy and academic achievement for your learners that aligns with your School Improvement Priorities to drive tangible high-quality teaching and learning outcomes. Your champion will master research-based pedagogical approaches and key skills in creating classrooms with strong and engaging cultures that lead to rigorous and engaging academic instruction so that your pupils and young people thrive (and by extension, your teachers too). 

​Structured as a series of five 90-minute online Tuesday train-the-trainer interactive training sessions with the following intentional and appealing titles:
 
SESSION 1
Radar/Be Seen Looking | 5 November 2024 | 1600 - 1730

SESSION 2

Each session is led by Teach Like a Champion Trainers based on an impactful implementation model to encourage a motivating momentum for your TLAC Champions-in-the-making. In addition, there will be opportunity to attend optional termly Professional Community Forums to review impact and share good practice with fellow programme members. 

It is perhaps a happy coincidence that TLAC is suggestive of the mnemonic TLC. True to our Teaching School Hub values, we understand that professional development is a financial commitment for schools and Trusts and an investment in your teachers and leaders and we believe in the benefits of this dynamic and carefully planned programme.

SWIFT is committed to provide professional development programmes that are current and relevant to leaders and teachers in the classroom and the TLAC programme is aimed at Teachers, School Leaders, Coaches and Middle Leaders across all the age phases. 

We believe the TLAC provides excellent value for money and we have been fortunate to agree a discounted price of £345 for our SWIFT Member Schools and £385 for non-Members per delegate (regardless of the size of your school).

As part of your sign-up, you will have opportunity to purchase further licenced TLAC resources and materials at a discounted rate and you will also benefit from access to recorded sessions and 'Plug and Play' training resources to use for staff training in your school.
