Elaborate Description
Great teaching tool that unlike how its title suggest to be used for k-12th grade purposes, can be used for college purposes as well. Rather than suggest various grand theories, Lemov creates ways to make use of class time more efficiently and effectively to get more out of the scare resource. The book is exceptionally well written. A minor problem is when some techniques or explanations requires the use of techniques in later chapters, which reduces the impact on the technique under discussion. The repeating of major themes such as the culture of error, time matters, and various techniques helps digest, process, and learn them more efficiently. It sometimes seems that the readers has to take for granted the end result of using the techniques and the students behavioral outcome such as students might not actually consider or see the techniques as described in the book. The videos are also helpful, but show the positive outcome without major distraction, would have been slightly more helpful to see when things go wrong, or completely wrong, which can allow the teachers to prep for the emotional aspects more directly.
