Building on the Lesson Study Communities in Secondary Mathematics (LSCSM) project (ESI-0138814), Education Development Center, Inc. (EDC) proposes a five-year project to create professional development materials that support secondary mathematics teachers in improving teaching and learning through lesson study. EDC will develop a range of in-depth resources: • A lesson study course for teachers • A leadership guide for lesson study leaders and coaches • A facilitator institute designed to build the capacity for scaling up • Models for coaching and for writing about research lessons The project goals are: to support teachers in improving mathematics teaching and learning through lesson study, and to provide resources that support scaling up of a robust model of lesson study in secondary mathematics. A further goal is to develop new models—a coaching model for lesson study and models for disseminating learning from lesson study to the mathematics teaching and research communities.
