The North Bay Mathematics Project (NBMP) uses the lesson study process as a cornerstone for our professional development work. It allows us to implement in our classrooms the pedagogy and content learned in adult settings. Through Lesson Study, NBMP provides teachers with the time and support they need to study how to meet the educational needs of all our students.

Resource: Literacy in History: Language and Meaning (Australian Journal of Language and Literacy, Volume 31, No., 2, June 2008, pp. 174-187)
Authors: Schleppegrell, Mary; Greer, Stacey; Taylor, Sarah
Abstract: This article reports on a professional development program that enhances teachers’ understanding of the role of language in history teaching and learning. We present a case study of one teacher’s experience, demonstrating the use of a functional metalanguage to engage students in close reading and discussion of school history texts. We also report qualitative and quantitative data that support the effectiveness of the approach in improving students’ reading and writing skills as well as their overall understanding of historical content.
