This insightful volume offers an overview of the fundamentals of
lesson student practice in US teacher education as well as examples
from math and science teacher educators using lesson study in their
local contexts. The number of teacher educators using lesson study
with preservice teachers is small but growing. This book is aimed
at teacher educators who may want to try lesson study in university
contexts without the challenge of translating the practice from the
K-12 context on their own. In this volume, lesson study is broadly
overviewed, attention is given to its constituent steps, and
examples of lesson study in preservice contexts are shared. Given
the broad array of teacher education program designs, numerous
contingencies guide teacher educators in their implementation of
lesson study, given their contextual affordances and limitations.
The lesson study descriptions and cases in this book will support
teacher educators and scholars across subject specialities and
geographic lines, as they seek instructional frameworks to advance
their pedagogical goals.

A Good Fit for All Kids supports teachers in constructing
research-based, collaborative approaches to teaching writing, in
print and technology-mediated forms, for diverse, inclusive
classrooms. Based on lessons drawn from an experimental writing
enrichment program, the book illustrates how teachers and students
benefit from a well-sequenced writing curriculum with high
expectations for a heterogeneous population of participants,
including students who have often been poorly served by writing
instruction in schools. Former high school teacher and teacher
educator Kelly Chandler-Olcott delves into detail on key topics
such as planning, inquiry stance, modeling, and conferring, and
shows how each can be better adapted to inclusive classrooms with
innovative uses of writers' notebooks, ""noticings"" activities,
and ""on the fly"" conferencing. The book also includes lesson plan
templates, protocols for examining student work, routines for
balancing explicit instruction with group work, and ideas for
strategic grouping at different stages of composing, among other
tested tools. A teacher-friendly resource grounded in empirical
research yet filled with practical advice, A Good Fit for All Kids
is uniquely suited for educators interested in making high-quality
writing a special focus for professional learning communities and
other collaborative efforts.
Clinical Simulations as Signature Pedagogy explores the use of
live-actor simulations as an engaging training tool to better
prepare educational professionals for school-wide challenges. In
this volume, editors Benjamin H. Dotger and Kelly Chandler-Olcott
present a persuasive overview of this effective method of
professional development and show how it resonates with other
practice-based initiatives. Through original case studies, the
book’s contributors demonstrate how live-actor simulations serve
as valuable assets in the training of teachers, school counselors,
and school leaders. They show how simulations provide a safe
shared-learning environment that closely approximates authentic
problems of practice while reducing the complexity of the
instructional context in manageable ways. The contributors point
out how the method standardizes training, ensuring that all
candidates have comparable opportunities to practice and master key
skills and habits of mind, among other advantages. Each case study
showcases a distinct way in which educational simulations have been
used to address common issues confronting educators, such as
educational equity, community building, and cultural
responsiveness. In addition, the cases highlight subject-specific
concerns, from fostering inclusivity in physical education to
presenting differing approaches to mathematical problems, for which
live-actor simulations provide a dynamic learning context.
Ultimately, this book illustrates why clinical simulations have
emerged as a powerful pedagogical tool that holds promise for the
professional preparation and continuing education of educators,
counselors, and school leaders.
