SLANT
No matter how great a lesson may be, if students aren't alert and tuned in maximized learning isn't taking place. SLANT is an acronym from the TEACH LIKE A CHAMPION book by Doug Lemov. SLANT is an acronym that stands for the following:
S--> Sit Up L-->Listen A-->Ask and Answer Questions N-->Nod your head T-->Track the speaker (eyes on speaker) SLANT is used school wide as a way of gaining the attention of students and ensuring that they are actively listening. A teacher may say "Slant" or may do the gesture for SLANT to gain everyone's attention. |
