Plug and Plays

Save time. Dive deep. Ready-to-use teacher training modules on specific Teach Like a Champion techniques.
Designed specifically for busy instructional leaders, our Plug and Plays provide all needed materials for two to three hour teacher training sessions on specific Teach Like a Champion techniques. Each Plug and Play provides leaders with:
✓ Ready-made PowerPoint presentations with embedded videos of the technique in action
✓ Facilitator notes for what to say and do for each slide
✓ Detailed analysis of all the embedded video clips
✓ Carefully designed practice activities
✓ Feedback “cheat sheets”—prioritized success points for coaching teachers on the technique
✓ Participant handouts for interactive note taking
✓ Next steps to ensure what’s learned in the session carries over into classrooms

To help you find what best meets your needs, we've organized the Plug and Plays into three categories that align with our workshops – Behavior and Culture, Engaging Academics, and Reading. Within each category, some Plug and Plays require no previous experience with Teach Like a Champion (100 level) and others work best with some leader and school-wide experience with Teach Like a Champion (200 level). At the bottom of the page you’ll find Bundles – combinations of Plug and Plays that work particularly well together. Bundles also save you money. Working with our partners at Aptus, we’ve also translated our Plug and Plays into Spanish! Interested in buying a version in Spanish? Email tlacinspanish@uncommonschools.org to let us know which ones you want.
