Lesson Study

An important aspect of teaching is constant research and reflection upon one’s practice and teaching experiences.  Here I have highlighted several lesson study reflections that I have done on my own and with colleagues.  Also, I have included some professional writing that I have done on my teaching as well as inquiry into my own practice.



Math Lesson Study​​​​​

This lesson highlights how using literature can help students make math connections more clear. After reflecting on the first lesson, I collaborated with a team to revise and reteach the lesson.



Social Studies Lesson Study​​​​​

This lesson study integrated writing with social studies concepts and provided a close look at changes that could be made in a social studies lesson with a team teaching approach.



Language Arts Journal Article​​

This is a journal article I wrote reflecting on a mental images unit that I taught. It was submitted for publication to a Michigan language arts magazine.



Science Inquiry Project​​

This science inquiry looked at how I could involve more students in classroom discussions to better assess student understanding. I conducted professional research, implemented several strategies, and collected data and their effectiveness.
