My review of Teach Like a Champion is elsewhere on Goodeads. The field guide is an accompanying text for the original book. It gives very brief overviews of the 49 techniques (so it could not operate as a stand-alone text without the original), and then provides short rubrics to help individual teachers or teaching teams to figure out how best to implement the 49 techniques. The field guide provides additional video clips of the techniques in action, along with helpful pairings of multiple techniques to assist teachers in self-improvement. There are even exercises with questions for teams or individuals to go through to help them process their plans for integrating the techniques into a professional development plan. The original book is a helpful text for teachers; this field guide is a great resource for those looking for guidance on how to implement the strategies from the first book. Recommended for novice and average teachers.

Cuốn này làm mình nhớ đến hồi mới bước chân ra khỏi trường ĐH, khá là bỡ ngỡ. Nếu hồi đó vớ được cuốn này thì tốt biết mấy :D Nên xếp vào hàng must read cho GV

Practical and user-friendly teaching and coaching advice that is suitable for novice and experienced teachers.

Concise, practical advise. I wish I had read something like this when I was starting out. There are excellent examples given to illustrate the points and there's a DVD that gives video clips to further illustrate the points (which I didn't watch). Although I do about 85% of these strategies already in the classroom, it's a good refresher!

Thee book version's formatting is a little difficult to get through and structure of the book is a little confusing. That being said it is great to see the techniques in classroom situations and in combination with each. Try to take each chapter singularly.

Not sure how this would be for a teacher. I read it as a parent looking for information on what to look for in a teacher. The actual book was better for my purposes than a field guide. The principles in the actual book looked to be similar and wee excellent.

Easy Read.. Good advise for teachers.

It was okay. Kind of campy, and not extraordinarily helpful for high school level education. I found myself disagreeing more than I agreed with Lemov.
