LESSON STUDY PROCESS

evidence that supports your answer?
2. What research resources, (i.e., books, documents), were studied?
3. Reflect on the data collected about student thinking and learning and provide some specific evidence for key
conclusions. (Samples of possible data collection are listed in the “Resources” section of this document.)
4. Did the misunderstandings you anticipated surface? Did your plan for addressing them work? If not, why do you
think it did not?
5. What ideas does the team have for changing the lesson in light of the observations?
