I've been doing the same in my work with secondary schools around the county ... plus helping folks connect the dots between lesson study and the work of Mike Schmoker, Rich Dufour, etc. on getting the results we want and need in P-16 public education. I would be happy to share what I'm doing and what I've learned with you and anyone else on the list that's interested. Give me a call at the number below. Please don't be offput by the dot com after my email address ... I work with a philanthropic, R& D group focused on K-12 education issues. In the interim, if you haven't already done so, check out the superlative "Tools for Conducting Lesson Study" at the web site of the folks who are so generoulsy hosting this listserv. You'll find answers to several of your questions there. http://www.tc.columbia.edu/lessonstudy/tools.html I also highly recommend that you bring the concept of lesson study to life by showing them a video example. One that I've used that consistently gets positive, "ah ha" responses from a variety of audiences is "Can You Lift 100 Kilograms?" available at: http://www.lessonresearch.net/Videos I've developed a protocol for using this that seems to work well ...

I am highlighting several programs including Lesson Study. Catherine Lewis has spoken at Chabot Space & Science Center where the workshop will be held, so some of the teachers are familiar with the work. I would like to have them observe a class and log in answers to questions. 1. Is there a specific format for an observation? 2. Does each teacher observe for a different question? 3. What kinds of questions? Are they specific to the lesson or general such as Are the students on task? Thanks in advance.
