Lenses on Learning: Module 3, Observing Today's Mathematics Classroom

By Catherine Miles Grant, Barbara Scott Nelson, Ellen Davidson, Annette Sassi, Amy Shulman Weinberg, Jessica Bleiman

The three-module set of Lenses on Learning professional development materials provides an opportunity for K-8 principals and other school and district leaders to learn about the fundamental ideas about mathematics, learning, and teaching in Standards-based K-8 mathematics classrooms and the implications for their own administrative practice.

In Module 3 participants develop an "eye" for Standards-based elementary mathematics classrooms through watching and discussing videotapes of classrooms in transition. Participants' own mathematical investigations inform their thinking about the lessons they observe. Participants also consider what approaches to post-observation conferences with teachers might be most constructive, given that teachers are active constructors of their own knowledge about mathematics, learning and teaching.
