Description
This insightful volume offers an overview of the fundamentals of lesson student practice in US teacher education as well as examples from math and science teacher educators using lesson study in their local contexts.
The number of teacher educators using lesson study with preservice teachers is small but growing. This book is aimed at teacher educators who may want to try lesson study in university contexts without the challenge of translating the practice from the K-12 context on their own. In this volume, lesson study is broadly overviewed, attention is given to its constituent steps, and examples of lesson study in preservice contexts are shared. Given the broad array of teacher education program designs, numerous contingencies guide teacher educators in their implementation of lesson study, given their contextual affordances and limitations.
The lesson study descriptions and cases in this book will support teacher educators and scholars across subject specialities and geographic lines, as they seek instructional frameworks to advance their pedagogical goals.

Reviews / Votes
From a European perspective, we have massively enjoyed reading this timely book about the use of Lesson Study in pre-service teaching and teacher training in U.S. contexts. Because of the widespread school contexts in the U.S., this book is an attempt to structure and provide guidance for teacher educators. Lesson Study provides a framework for naming that diversity and acting as a connecting link. This book is highly recommended for any teacher educator with a broad interest in other cultures.Sui Lin Goei (VU Amsterdam), Nellie Verhoef (Twente University), Siebrich de Vries (Groningen University), founders of Lesson Study NL, Amsterdam, Netherlands.
This book is a 'must' for anyone running or teaching pre-service mathematics or science teacher education courses who either wants to introduce lesson study into their programme or who wants to enrich the way they are currently using lesson study. Each chapter provides a deep-dive into a particular aspect of lesson study, experienced with pre-service teachers and presented in ways that address the challenges and key rewards each account offers. As a result, this book will dramatically increase the success such new programmes can have from the outset and the potential for emerging science and mathematics teachers to gain significantly and lastingly from early lesson study experiences in pre-service teacher education programmes everywhere.
Peter Dudley, Associate Professor of Learning and Leadership, Faculty of Education, University of Cambridge and Immediate Past President of the World Association of Lesson Studies.
Grounded in research and practice, this book develops a framework of adapted lesson study with preservice teachers, illustrates each phase of the framework, and shows cases of how lesson study can help develop preservice mathematics and science teachers' competencies for addressing various challenges in their future teaching. It is a must-read book for those who care about preparing high quality teachers in STEM education.
Rongjin Huang, Professor of Mathematics Education, Middle Tennessee State University, USA.
