Introduction 1
A Map of the 49 Techniques 8
Section 1 Setting High Academic Expectations
Technique 1 NO OPT OUT 11
Turn ''I don't know'' into a success by helping students who won't try or can't succeed practice getting it right (and being accountable for trying).
Technique 2 RIGHT IS RIGHT 22
When you respond to answers in class, hold out for answers that are ''all-the-way right'' or all the way to your standards of rigor.
Technique 3 STRETCH IT 37
Reward ''right'' answers with follow-up questions that test for reliability, challenge students, and extend knowledge.
Technique 4 FORMAT MATTERS 52
Help your students to ''format'' responses to your questions grammatically, in complete sentences, audibly, and according to other worthy criteria.
Technique 5 WITHOUT APOLOGY 65
Get beyond labeling what students need to learn as ''boring,'' out of your control, or too remote or hard for them. Keep it rigorous, not watered down.
Section 2 Planning That Ensures High Academic Achievement
Technique 6 BEGIN WITH THE END 73
Progress from unit planning to lesson planning. Define the objective, decide how you'll assess it, and then choose appropriate lesson activities.
Technique 7 4 MS 82
There are four criteria for an effective lesson plan objective: Manageable, Measurable, Made first, and Most important.
Technique 8 POST IT 89
Display your lesson objective where everyone can see it and identify your purpose.
Technique 9 SHORTEST PATH 92
In planning lessons, find the most direct and effective route by which students can reach a goal.
Technique 10 DOUBLE PLAN 97
As you plan a lesson, plan what students will be doing at each point in class.
Technique 11 DRAW THE MAP 103
Consciously design and control the physical environment in which you teach, including seating arrangements.
Section 3 Structuring and Delivering Your Lessons
Technique 12 THE HOOK 110
Introduce material to your class in a captivating, inspiring, and exciting way.
Technique 13 NAME THE STEPS 114
Break down complex tasks into steps that form a path for student mastery.
Technique 14 BOARD = PAPER 121
This is a method by which a teacher models and shapes how students should take notes in order to capture information he or she presents.
Technique 15 CIRCULATE 125
Move strategically around the room during all parts of the lesson.
Technique 16 BREAK IT DOWN 134
When a student makes an error, provide just enough help to allow her to ''solve'' as much of the original problem as she can.
Technique 17 RATIO 148
In some classrooms, teachers do nearly all of the cognitive work. The aim of Ratio is for students to do progressively more of it themselves.
Technique 18 CHECK FOR UNDERSTANDING 163
While you teach, constantly assess what your students understand. Correct misunderstandings as quickly as you can.
Technique 19 AT BATS 179
Succeeding twice at a skill won't bring mastery. You get to real mastery on the twentieth iteration. Or the fiftieth. Or the hundredth. Give your students lots of practice in learning and mastering knowledge or skills.
Technique 20 EXIT TICKET 185
End each class with an explicit assessment of your objective that you can use to evaluate your (and your students') success.
Technique 21 TAKE A STAND 190
Get students to exercise their own judgment of their peers' answers. Doing so builds engagement, healthy skepticism, and confidence.
Section 4 Engaging Students in Your Lessons
Technique 22 COLD CALL 195
Call on students regardless of whether they've raised their hands.
Technique 23 CALL AND RESPONSE 211
You ask (call); the class answers in unison (response). Do it to build energetic, positive engagement and to spread the work around the room.
Technique 24 PEPPER 227
Pepper is fast-paced cumulative vocal review that builds energy and actively engages the whole class.
Technique 25 WAIT TIME 233
Allow students time to process before
