What's lesson study? Do you do lesson study? Are you curious to learn more about the power and possibilities of lesson study as a tool for equity? Join Host Celine Liu in conversation with Karen Mayfield-Ingram, Mary Vongsavanh, and Sean McCarthy as they share stories from the Murrieta Valley Unified School District's work with teachers on lesson study in mathematics classrooms.

California Action Network for Mathematics Excellence and Equity (CANMEE)
is a cross-state collaboration that works with organizations like TODOS and the California Math Project, and is mentioned in this podcast. It has resources for lesson study: https://cmpso.org/canmee/

High School Mathematics Teacher and Quetzal Education Consultant Dani Wadlington shares her mathematics teaching story with host Celine Liu. Learn about the work this powerful mathematics teacher does in and out of her classroom, including her contributions to the Equitable Mathematics Toolkit, and how she uses mathematics as the context to teach important lessons for life.

Do you ever wonder where an organization founded by and for teachers like TODOS comes from? Wonder no more! In this episodes, three people who have been with TODOS since its founding tell us about the origin of TODOS, the meeting, context, and support structures that started it all, and their perspectives of where we are headed. Featuring: Nora Ramirez, Susie Håkansson, and Bob MacDonald – three people whose names you probably see on a bunch of TODOS stuff!
