Well, as of today it looks like we have not one, but TWO groups of math teachers who will be joining the lesson study endeavor! If you are one of the people, THANK YOU!! I'm so excited to get together with everyone for the first time - now to focus on coordination of schedules. When you're working with so many dedicated, involved teacher leaders it can be hard to find a time for everyone to meet. But, I'm sure we can figure it out! I'll post more after our first meetings
The Noyce MTF recruitment process is well underway, and so far it looks like we have about 6-8 mathematics teachers who are interested in participating. Recruitment of such talented teachers has been a challenge, as many of them are working above and beyond their classroom and taking on leadership roles at their sites and in their districts. But, it's looking like we may have two mathematics groups slowly forming - one focused on Algebra and one focused on Geometry! Once our participant groups have been finalized, we'll find an initial meeting date and get moving. More good things to come, and I'm looking forward to it :)
