Leveraging Lesson Study for Disciplinary Literacy: Studying and Planning for Scientific Modeling

This paper argues that the plan and study phases of lesson are productive in helping educators with varied expertise experience to explore scientific practices like modeling ties disciplinary literacy. Points illustrated data from a lesson-study cycle science two university-based teacher educators, one literacy education education, conducted colleagues nearby school district. The describes study; outlines role practices, including modeling, Next Generation Science Standards; context for work, unit explored by team. Recommendations about how leverage offered, along suggestions getting started such work.
