Mentor-Leaders

Nine mentor-leaders, chosen from among teacher participants in WTMA1 and WTMA2, serve as founding members of WTMA3′s Lesson Study Design Team program. The mentor-leaders participate in all LSDT programming, as well as doing advanced study in curriculum development and lesson study under the guidance of world-renowned Professor Bob Bain of the University of Michigan. With that experience, they take on leadership roles both within the project — by leading sessions of Meet the Scholars, conducting class- and school-wide History Day programs, and supporting new LSDT members — and outside, where they may do professional development workshops in district and statewide forums, publish their work, or take on other roles sharing their expertise.

To get an idea of the work done by the mentor-leaders during their time in prior WTMA programs, you can view sample website pages drawn from the secure/proprietary web area used by LSDT’s in the process of lesson study. These pages capture the dynamic nature of the lesson study process. Website sample pages as PDFs are available for download:
