Coaching "Do It Again"

Do It Again is a Teach Like a Champion technique that helps teachers turn “almost right” work into consistently strong performance. Instead of moving on when students fall short of the standard, Do It Again asks teachers to pause, reset expectations, and have students try again—this time with clarity and purpose. When used well, it communicates that quality matters, effort is non-negotiable, and improvement is always possible. In this episode, we break down what Do It Again really looks like in practice, why it builds both academic rigor and classroom culture, and how to apply it efficiently without derailing instruction. If you want higher standards without higher volume, this technique is a powerful place to start.
