Mike recently talked with Doug Lemov, author of?Teach Like a Champion, and Steven Farr, author of?Teaching as Leadership, for Education Next about the importance of learning from great teachers. Lemov said at one point:

I hope that the rest of the field gets to?the point where they want to be data-driven and look at what works?and build the profession up from the specifics of what great teachers?do, as opposed to building it down from the abstract.
