| Abstract: | Meaningful growth in teacher practice comes when we invest in teacher-led, inquiry-based collaborative models where teachers get to roll up their sleeves and study what's really going on in classrooms. "Lab Class" introduces an observation-based professional learning design that helps teachers collaboratively plan, investigate, and develop solutions to a specific problem of practice by observing a host teacher's classroom through the eyes of students. This book provides instructional leaders and team facilitators with observation protocols that encourage teachers to: (1) Plan collaborative inquiry projects by identifying a focus of the inquiry, combing the research literature, creating norms for observations, and identifying resources needed; (2) Observe and analyze student conversations, actions, and products to determine the impact of instructional decisions on students; and (3) Identify patterns from observations and determine next steps for professional learning. Close the knowing-doing gap by bringing professional learning out of workshops and back where it belongs--in the classroom! |
