Reporting on a Study of Faculty Development in Community Colleges

In this webinar, faculty, instructional designers, faculty developers, and administrators learned about lesson study, a model for faculty development. Lesson study has proven effective in improving student learning in K-12 mathematics. To understand lesson study at the postsecondary level, the Community College Research Center and Education Northwest engaged in a three-year, Institute of Education Sciences-funded project to adapt and implement the professional development model at three community colleges.

This webinar introduced lesson study, showcased new implementation resources, and reviewed research findings from the project. Participants heard from faculty and leaders about how this approach can be used to address current challenges in postsecondary education.
