“Facilitating Lesson Study: facilitator moves, ideas and structures”
Facilitation takes many different forms in Lesson Study across the globe. This webinar brings together examples of different forms of facilitation from Norway, Scotland, Switzerland and the United States. We will share how facilitators act, the moves they make and the resources they utilise to start a wider discussion on facilitating the facilitator in Lesson Study
May 11th, 4:00 pm San Francisco time
“Equity and focal students”
Colleagues from the California Action Network for Mathematics Excellence and Equity (CANMEE) will present a webinar focussing on equity and focal students. CANMEE was formed to respond to the call for collective action to make real equity in mathematics classrooms. To accomplish this goal. CANMEE teachers employ a high-quality LS process to plan and test lessons that address the needs of traditionally marginalised students.
June 2023 (date and time to be confirmed)
“Contribution of networking theories to advancing lesson study”
This webinar presents the features and strategies of networking theories to investigate lesson study. Three presentations, as well as interactions between the authors and practitioners will demonstrate how networking theories could strengthen lesson study both theoretically and empirically. It will provoke participants’ thinking and questioning about the potential application of the innovative theoretical approach.
