  • "Lesson study is a professional development strategy that developed in Japan. Teachers study a lesson by collaboratively researching a topic and writing a research lesson. The lesson is then tested by a teacher in a group while the other teachers in the group observe both the teacher and students. Based on what they learn, the teacher team refines the lesson and then another teacher tests it. The teacher group meets regularly and long term to work on the design, implementation, and refinement of several lessons. Educators have been examining the Japanese lesson study model for years, but the dissimilar environment in U.S. schools has prevented a widescale adoption of this effective form of professional learning. Lesson Study Communities demonstrates how to translate each step of the Japanese lesson study process to the U.S. schools' educational environment. Offering specific strategies that have been tested and successfully used with ethnically diverse students, this book incorporates a culturally responsive approach to curriculum, instruction, and assessment. Working in impoverished schools with ELL and low SES students, Wiburg and Brown's program made significant progress toward closing the achievement gap in poorly served communities."
