Putting Research into Action will focus on looking at articles and student work, making conjectures, and testing them in the classroom. It is designed for teams of 2 or three teachers, who can share ideas and hopefully observe in each others classrooms; but it’s open to anyone who has had previous work in SVMI and wants to go deeper into the change process. The follow-up sessions will look in-depth at the big mathematical ideas of fractions and proportional reasoning. The follow-up sessions will also have a big emphasis on sharing student work. The follow-up sessions are also open to the lesson study group, so we can have a diverse range of classroom experiences to share. The follow-up sessions will have "homework" to try in the classroom. This homework or research might include a student interview, trying a lesson design or number talk, or bringing student work; but it will be designed by the participants.
