�LESSON STUDY

  • At GCI we have focused on
      • Questioning
      • Accountable talk
      • Co-created criteria
      • Mathematical Processes
      • Reciprocal Teaching
  • Lesson study has been the vehicle used to focus on these instructional strategies

�LESSON STUDY

  • Teachers collaborating to co-create lessons

​

  • Everyone commits to giving it a try in their classroom

​

  • The presenting teacher comes to the table with a “lesson Idea”, then the group co-creates the lesson

� LESSON STUDY

  • Plan ½ a day
  • Execute and debrief ½ a day

​

� LESSON STUDY

  • The lesson is focused on “student engagement” as opposed to teacher performance

Lesson Study (AMDSB version)

Our version of Lesson study was used to drive our teams thinking around

  • Rich tasks
  • Manipulative use
  • Assessment as learning
  • Mathematical Processes

Lesson Study (AMDSB version)

Our version of Lesson study was different than the OCDSB version.

Instead of beginning with a learning outcome, we focused each lesson study on a particular rich task.

Lesson Study (AMDSB version)

In each meeting we spent time Anticipating student responses to a Rich Task.

The task was attempted by all team members, then learning outcomes were identified that could be a result of the task.

A plan for consolidation was created around the identified outcome.

Lesson Study (AMDSB version)

The task/lesson was presented in a class, with team members observing, recording and interacting with students as they completed the task.

Lesson Study (AMDSB version)

Eventually we added in methods for assessing as students are learning.

Specifically, identifying the Mathematical Process to observe and query students with respect to.

Lesson Study (AMDSB version)

Lesson debrief and observations were shared as a team. This was the transformative part.

Team members expressed appreciation for

  • Multiple solution routes
  • Hearing student thinking
  • Responding to student understanding as a next step.
