Lake Nona STEM Consortium: Improving Mathematics Instruction Through Lesson Study
 
A collaborative learning team of elementary, middle, and high school teachers will use lesson study to practice and analyze mathematics differentiated small group instructional strategies. The team will evaluate strategies for differentiation of instruction to meet the needs of all populations of students and close the achievement gap beginning at elementary school and continuing through to high school. Student achievement data will be analyzed throughout with the goal of the project to see a decrease in the achievement gap as the year progresses. The consortium leaders will share strategies with the rest of the faculty at their respective schools to build an infrastructure of best practices in mathematics within the community as a whole.
