MEETING THE NEEDS EXPRESSED BY TEACHERS: ADAPTATIONS OF THE TRADITIONAL MODEL FOR DEMONSTRATION LESSONS

Demonstration lessons are one means for providing teachers with opportunities to reflect on instruction. Although different models for demonstration lessons are described in the literature, the Implementing Mathematical Practices And Content into Teaching Project, or Project IMPACT, developed two additional models of demonstration lessons in response to the expressed needs of project participants. In this article, we introduce these two models with the goal of supporting mathematics education leaders in enacting these models, or further adapting them, in their own work. Further, we aim to demonstrate how these models were developed in response to project participants’ needs.
