2012 Chicago Lesson Study Conference

"Using Level 3 teaching to cultivate the mathematical practices of the Common Core State Standards"

Thursday and Friday, May 3-4, 2012

Prieto Math and Science Academy, Chicago

Registration deadline: 2012-04-24

At the 2010 Chicago Lesson Study Conference, we presented the concept of Level 3 teaching, in which the teacher creates circumstances that lead students to discover important ideas for themselves. This kind of teaching naturally cultivates many of the mathematical practices called for in the Common Core State Standards. But what does that kind of teaching look like, and how can lesson study help teachers progress towards it?

This year's Chicago Lesson Study Conference will feature speakers and, of course, live research lessons to foster discussion among participants around the challenge of implementing the Mathematical Practices of the Common Core State Standards.
