The subject of the first January new teacher professional development session was Technique 48, "Engineer Efficiency" from
Teach Like a Champion 2.0. Engineer Efficiency involves creating procedures by which students can perform both mundane and academic tasks in ways that yield more time for learning. Three types of procedures can be engineered efficiently: behavioral, cultural, and academic. The same design criteria work for all of them:
- Simplicity
- Quick is King
- Little Narration Required
- Planned in Detail
See the anchor charts below to learn more about each of the criteria, and to see an example of how the criteria is present in procedures. For more details about how you can "Engineer Efficiency" in your classroom, see page 361 of Teach Like a Champion 2.0!
