Usually each meeting lasts between 2 and 2.5 hours. During these meetings the research group identify a topic of mathematics which students struggle with and design a single lesson around this which will improve students\u2019 conceptual understanding. While on the face of it designing a single lesson appears to be a simple task, the Lesson-Study process asks teachers to consider and discuss a number of aspects of teaching and learning pertaining to the lesson. These include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">How the lesson will meet the School Self Evaluation standards currently being worked on by their school<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">How the lesson will meet the expectations of the new Junior Cycle framework (including key skills and statements of learning)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Why the identified topic is proving so difficult for students<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">What approaches are currently used across the school in teaching the topic<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">What prior knowledge students have before studying this topic<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Where this topic is needed by students in their future learning of mathematics<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">How the lesson fits into a larger unit of work<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The depth of this process provides some insight as to why Lesson Study is so effective in changing classroom practice. While teachers work on designing a single lesson, the deep discussion they have with their colleagues around teaching mathematics makes for incredibly rich professional development which focuses on classroom practice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Mathematics teachers in St. Mary\u2019s have engaged with lesson study over three years. Having a PDST Lesson Study Associate within the department has created the opportunity for all teachers in the department to have taken part in at least one cycle of lesson study.&nbsp; In 2018 teachers from the maths department presented a workshop at Maths Count 2018 on their lesson proposal and their experience of the lesson study process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">St Mary\u2019s Lesson Study Lesson Proposals are attached below and Lesson Posters are displayed in the school<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lesson Study Lesson Study is a form of professional development based around teachers collaborating to design a research lesson.
