Karie Brown will be hosting a summer working group focused on designing a course using lesson study with PSTs (pre-service teachers). This idea grew out of conversations a few of us had at AERA, and we’d love to open it up to others who might be interested in joining.

The goal of the group will be to collaborate by sharing syllabi, exchanging ideas, and problem-solving together as we think about how to design and implement this lesson study in our particular courses. We have not set a schedule yet, as we’d like to co-create the structure, timing, and meeting frequency with those who are interested.

The meeting will be on Thursday, July 23^rd at 1:30 PM (Eastern Time). If this sounds like something you’d like to be part of, please reach out via email to get the Zoom link—we’d love to collaborate! (kbrown383@gsu.edu)

The LS SIG Board is hosting a Zoom event on Friday, August 7, 2026 at 12:00 PM (Central Time). We invite you to attend the “Let’s catch up” event where we will network, learn more about each other’s lesson study activities, and share ideas. We hope that this event will bring us together as a community with shared interests in advancing lesson study through research, teaching, and community engagement. Sign up here to receive a Zoom link.
