Update on Upcoming Research Lessons

What is "lesson study?"

Teachers gather data on students' conversations during a math research lesson.

Lesson Study is a constructivist professional development model that is:

  • Teacher-directed
  • Classroom-based
  • Collaborative in nature
  • Child-centered
  • Research-based
  • Data-driven
  • Goal-oriented
  • Relevant, "real-time" study of students

This powerful professional model gives us, as teachers, the ability to continually update and improve our instructional practice. This model by its very nature promotes excellence in teaching and learning and reminds us of why we became teachers in the first place.
