Division of Mathematics Learning and Teaching

This project will provide two years of professional development and lesson study support to teams of middle and high school teachers in the Greater Boston area, as well as building a community of teachers around lesson study in mathematics. Our goals are: to enhance knowledge of mathematics and pedagogy, to introduce teachers to lesson study, to build a community of teachers interested in lesson study, and to learn how the Japanese lesson study model can be adapted to become a successful professional development model for U.S. secondary school mathematics teachers. Teacher teams will attend workshops at EDC and complete four or more full cycles of lesson study with the support of a team coach/advisor.
