Functions of Seating Charts • Plan Whom to Call Upon (Teacher) • Ease Note-taking • Identify Prior Thinking (To Study Change) • Classify Student Approaches (To Facilitate Identification) • Study Learning of All Students, Not Just Verbally Active • Characterize Class As a Whole
Characteristics of Data Collectionin Lesson Study • Customization • Rich Documentation of Context • Learning Opportunities for Teachers
Learning Opportunities for Teachers • Learning (not lesson perfection) is primary goal • Learning about math, student learning, effective instruction • Develop “The eyes to see students”
