Web resources for,
Integrating Lesson Study for Preservice and
In-service Teachers
NCTM presentation, April 22, 2004
Session description:
Lesson study brings teachers together
for the purpose of studying and reflecting on the content of lessons
and nature
of students’ learning.
Traditional approaches to professional development focus on what
a teacher does; lesson study ultimately focuses on what
students are learning.
The presenters will report on research to create a model that
engages preservice teachers in lesson study during their
methods course-work,
as well as to create the infrastructure to support lesson study
at
both the university and local school level.
