Check for Understanding Train-the-Trainer Workshop

October 23, 2026

Recognizing the difference between “I taught it” and “They learned it” is one of the most important challenges that a teacher faces. Consistently and effectively Checking for Understanding allows teachers to both uncover and respond to student misunderstandings.

Join the Teach Like a Champion team to prepare to deliver high quality training on Check for Understanding. Ensuring all students master rigorous content requires that teachers engineer their classrooms to Check for Understanding systematically and effectively. This workshop will help leaders equip teachers to expose student misunderstandings intentionally and to respond to error productively.

WE WILL ANALYZE AND PRACTICE:

• Gathering data effectively through revised Teach Like a Champion techniques including Reject Self Report, Targeted Questioning, Standardize the Format, Active Observation, and Show Me.

• Creating a safe and productive environment in which students reveal their misconceptions by creating a Culture of Error via Expect Error, Withhold the Answer, Manage the Tell, and Praise Risk Taking.

• Responding immediately to student misunderstandings through Lesson Preparation: Plan the Exemplar, Plan the Exemplar, Plan for Error, and Plan Means of Participation.

• Ensuring that student learning is durable through Retrieval Practice.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:

Our workshops are a “Train-the-Trainer” model. We prepare instructional leaders and school leadership teams to deliver excellent training on Teach Like a Champion 3.0 techniques. Schools typically send a team of two to five instructional leaders and teachers in order to have several key team members responsible for turn-keying the work back at their campuses.
