REGION 9

Texas Lesson Study (TxLS) is a TEA initiative that utilizes inquiry-based, job-embedded professional development where teachers work collaboratively to develop, teach, and assess research-based lessons.

As part of this initiative, teachers analyze data, research effective strategies, create lessons, and reflect on effectiveness.  A collaborative discussion and development model is used to enhance lesson effectiveness and teacher craft.  These mini-cycles continue throughout the year.  TxLS can support any campus or state-level initiative by providing instructional coaching and on-going support for implementation fidelity.
