Thank you for this template. It gave us a starting point instead of starting from scratch. We adjusted and made it our own.

Comment on The Lesson Study: Lesson Plan Template by Paulette Smith

I am excited to see lesson study highlighted on this organization’s website. I am an advocate for lesson study as a format for evaluating student learning. Lesson Study takes the teacher learning process to a higher level because it builds collaboration and focuses on student learning. This style of observation is not punitive against the teacher, but forms the needed conversation about what’s best for kids.

I could agree more. And yet, adminstrators have a very difficult time combatting beliefs. Teacher beliefs about students’ ability to perform are destroying the fabric of education for our students of color. What research is out there about this issue?

Wow. My principal, Sid Rundle, asked me to check this website out and I’ve just spent 45 minutes clicking here and then there and printing off all sorts of great resources…. As a middle school staff developer, I feel like I’ve hit the “jackpot” here! We’re in the middle of “redefining” ourselves as a school and this wonderful website gets right to the heart of the work that we’re attempting to do. Like Sid, I certainly do not feel that this is an “elementary school only” resource as many of the links are just about good, research-based instruction… which transcends all grade levels. I, too, was particularly impressed with the writing resources because as a former English teacher, my goal was always to create lifelong readers, writers, and thinkers. Being able to move students from the notion of simply writing to fulfill an assignment into the mode of writing to THINK and LEARN was powerful. And while you illustrate this beautifully in the context of young writers, the same mode of thought works for higher level writers as well. Powerful stuff. Thank you for creating this wonderful resource… I look forward to checking back often…
