  1. Science Lesson Study 2005-2006 SPREE Institute California State University, Sacramento

  2. What is “Lesson Study”?

  3. Lesson Study is a collaborative process to produce excellent standards-based science lessons Team Formulates Goals & sketches out a Unit Plan &Teach a “Research Lesson” Revise & Teach in another class Feedback from Student Work Feedback from Team Members

  4. How the process works … • Today: • “Lesson Study” overview/getting started • Form Teams • Identify Facilitator • Tuesday & Wednesday: • Navigate through process with your team • Thursday & Friday: • Finish LS Plans • Present/teach/demo “study” lesson • Participate in pre/teach/post conferencing • Fall Term: • Go through 2 Lesson Study Cycles at your school • Participate in year-end “debrief”

  5. Unit Template Student Learning Goals Acceptable Evidence Learning Experiences Lesson Study Template • A tool for organizing the LS Plan Effectively • Prompts guide you through the 5-step process Prompts Prompts Prompts

  6. Lesson Study Cycle Plan Design Identify Goals Analysis of Student Work Rough out a Unit Design a “research” lesson Revise Design Peer Review Review & Improve Feedback Student feedback Try Out Lesson(s) Team Observations 6

  7. How it all plays out: • You will leave this week with a completed plan, ready to teach your first lesson • One team member teaches the lesson • Other members observe & gather evidence of student learning & development • The lesson (or an alternate lesson) is taught in another classroom • Team members again gather evidence & meet to debrief and improve • Science Unit is continually enhanced

  8. What makes the difference? • Monthly “debriefing” meetings • Close communications with facilitator • Pre-conference to clarify objectives & evidence • Post-conference to discuss evidence gathered & use it to improve the lesson (and instruction more generally) • Continual fleshing out your science unit(s) • Planning the next lesson

  9. What You Get Out of It • Valuable collaboration time with your colleagues • Sub release time to participate • Science materials to enhance your lessons • Training on Lesson Study as a way to improve lesson designing • The CA Science Frameworks & other resources

  10. What You Get Out of It (con’t) • In the end, a unit of lessons that can be used and/or adjusted for your students’ needs • A binder and interactive CD to guide your through the Lesson Study phases (with links to online resources, sample lessons, etc.) • $tipend for participants who fulfill the requirements

  11. Logistics: • A Walk through the Planning Template • Who are your team members? • Who is your facilitator? • Lesson Study Web Site: http://www.csus.edu/indiv/j/jelinekd • Q & A
