The Lesson Study Research Group (LSRG) is housed at Teachers College, Columbia University, and is directed by Professor Clea Fernandez. The LSRG is working to contribute to a better understanding of lesson study in the United States, with funding from the National Science Foundation (Grant #EHR 9909476, January 2000-December 2002). The activities of the LSRG include: sharing information about how lesson study is conducted in Japan; exploring how lesson study can be adapted for the U.S. educational context; developing tools and materials for supporting lesson study practice in the U.S.; gathering information about the impact of lesson study on teachers, students, schools, and the U.S. education system.
