  2. Background • Classroom as final common pathway • TIMSS Video: why study “average” teaching? • Key findings from TIMSS video: • Teaching is cultural, hard to change • Reforms rarely penetrate into the classroom • Programs can make teachers more knowledgeable, but not improve teaching and learning in classroom

  3. Approach to Improving Teaching • Focus on teaching more than teachers (direct improvement in classroom, motivated by problems of practice) • Use methods that are known to change culture: Use daily routine of teaching as lever for change (plan, teach, assess, analyze) • Give teachers opportunities to work together • slow down cycle of teaching • Learn tools for disciplined planning and analysis (rubric’s for work of teaching important) • develop knowledge in context of use

  4. Example: Science • Problem in science: activities become ends in themselves, often not used as vehicles for developing scientific concepts • In two LessonLab studies (Kathy Roth), using TIMSS video analysis protocol’s as tools teachers can use to analyze their own lessons: making visible the science in science teaching

  5. Video Example

  6. Conclusion • Technology can be a powerful tool for • Creating more time for this kind of work • Teaching teachers how to plan and analyze • Providing knowledge: alternative examples, analysis frameworks, etc.
