Abstract

As part of a larger study regarding an algebra professional development (PD) program, this study centers on the protocol developed and implemented to follow during the lesson study cycle. Participants were current math teachers who elected to participate. The researchers created the protocol to effectively enact a professional learning community that allowed the conversation of the research lesson to remain focused on: “What do you really know about what the students know about the concept, and how do you know it?” Results show that the inclusion of the LSOA protocol met the descriptions for what is considered a high-quality PD. The researchers share the protocol for use by other scholars.
