Connect with one or more colleagues, if possible, to work as a collaborative team to analyze a math lesson.
Review the lesson analysis tool included in the resource section below and choose 1-3 focus categories.
Identify a math lesson that you would like to analyze.
Choose one of the following approaches to using the lesson analysis tool:
- Analyzing a written lesson plan
- Analyzing a video of a lesson
- Guiding an observation of a live lesson
Use the guiding question and the rubric criteria to reflect on the presence of each of your focus categories in the lesson
- Customize this lesson reflection template, which is also linked below, to capture your reflections about your chosen focus areas
- By using the template, brainstorm with a colleague about what adaptations could be made to make the lesson, and other similar lessons, more culturally responsive
Repeat with other lessons and other focus categories
