Revise & Publish

After you reflect on your facilitation of your lesson and how students or household member(s) engaged with the task, you'll work with your partner to make revisions to your lesson plan that would help others facilitate your activity in the future. And then you'll share your activity plan so that other teachers or families can use it.

NOTE: If it is not feasible to work together with your partner, it is ok to submit two separate revisions and published lessons for this part.

Make revisions & Publish your Lesson

You have quite a bit of flexibility in how you make these revisions and publish your materials so that they are useful to other teachers. Some options:

• Make revisions to the written lesson plan and materials
  • Update the task materials based on what worked and what didn't
  • Update the anticipated solution strategies based on what students did or said
  • Update the planned questions and teacher discourse moves based on how you engaged with students and families
• Make a video or audio recording where you offer tips on how to facilitate the activity based on your own experience
• Include some pictures of the work that students produced along with tips on how to engage students with mathematics
• Something else...

You also have quite a bit of flexibility in how you make your plan and activity materials available for other teachers to use. Increasingly, becoming a teaching profession involves connecting with and sharing resources with other teachers through online platforms. My goal in having you publish your lesson plan is for you to begin to engage in the professional practice of making effective teaching materials available for others to use.

Some options for publishing your lesson:

• Send the materials to me for publication on my website for teachers: https://francesharper.com/community-steam/
• Publish your materials on social media (e.g., twitter, facebook, pinterest, etc.)
• Publish your materials on your own website
• Publish your materials on a site that make lesson plans available to others (e.g., https://www.teacherspayteachers.com; https://sharemylesson.com/, etc.)
• Somewhere else...

I encourage you to consider publishing somewhere that will allow you to list this as a publication on your resume. If you publish on my site, Teacher Pay Teachers, or Share My Lesson, you can list this as a publication. An example of how to cite: Bassinger, A. Cottam, V., & Dunavin, K. (2019). Flower power. In F. K. Harper (Ed.), Solving world problems: Equity and social justice in mathematics education. Retrieved from: https://francesharper.com/community-steam/geometric-reasoning/.
