A timely guide to online teaching strategies from bestselling author Doug Lemov and the Teach Like a Champion team
School closures in response to the covid-19 coronavirus pandemic resulted in an immediate and universal pivot to online teaching. More than 3.7 million teachers in the U.S. were suddenly asked to teach in an entirely new setting with little preparation and no advance notice. This has caused an unprecedented threat to children’s education, giving rise to an urgent need for resources and guidance. Teaching in the Online Classroom is a just-in-time response to educators’ call for help. Teaching expert Doug Lemov and his colleagues spent weeks studying videos of online teaching and they now provide educators in the midst of this transition with a clear guide to engaging and educating their students online.
Although the transition to online education is happening more abruptly than anyone anticipated, technology-supported teaching may be here to stay. This guide explores the challenges involved in online teaching and guides educators and administrators to identify and understand best practices. It is a valuable tool to help you and your students succeed in synchronous and asynchronous settings this school year and beyond.
- Learn strategies for engaging students more fully online
- Find new techniques to assess student progress from afar
- Discover tools for building online classroom culture, combating online distractions, and more
- Watch videos of teachers building rigor and relationships during online instruction
Teaching in the Online Classroom features real-world examples you can apply and adapt right away in your own online classroom to allow you to survive and thrive online.

Am I the only one who is having problems accessing the links in the book? I’ve typed them in correctly and get a message on Vimeo saying the video can’t be found. Very irritating.

In 2020, overnight, teachers in the UK found themselves having to work online and remotely day in, day out, with no warning and actually little to no training. The same was the case in the US – hence this book. For me, I only really got the chance to read it when we were well into the teaching online experience because, despite wide-held media views – it was pretty full on with teachers like me providing a range of recorded and “live” online lessons and working long hours. I was already familiar with the “teach like a champion” methods and so, once I did get to read this book I did find it helpful to re-contextualise some of their techniques, such as “cold calling” and use of routines. There are useful video clips for the points raised (password in the introduction) and despite the US context I found much to recognise and reflect on in my own practice in the UK.
That said, for me, this book as a read mostly involved me recognising things that I had already worked out for myself out of necessity, with a few useful tips. I did wonder how in the real world anyone other than a superhuman would have time for the indepth planning and creating of resources that were shown in this book – but chose to see this as aspirational – the reality saw me and other teachers just doing the best we could.
Writing this now the phrase of the title “the new normal” seems tired – and this is a book probably of its time because it’s hard to imagine any prolonged online teaching in the secondary setting, rising figures or not. That said this is still a useful reference that’s worth dipping into when (and if?) online teaching knowledge is required.

Accessible ideas with tons of video examples. Practical, easy to integrate suggestions to improve both recorded and live lessons. Nice to have both US and UK case studies.
