Kazemi, E., Hintz, A., & Lewis, C. (2018). Math Labs: Teachers, Teacher Educators, and School Leaders Learning Together
This paper introduces the concept of "Math Labs," collaborative professional learning environments where teachers, educators, and leaders engage in continuous, practice-based learning. Math Labs focus on co-planning, observing, and debriefing mathematics lessons to enhance instructional practices. The approach emphasizes collective inquiry and iterative improvement, fostering a culture of shared learning and instructional leadership within schools. This model supports the development of equitable and effective math teaching strategies.
Tools
