Field Study Days
A Field Study Day is a unique PD structure—you will be embedded in a classroom in action. You’ll observe, take notes, and document learning. The reflective discussion that follows will be powerful for you and your team.
It is rare learning opportunity to be immersed in a class that operates in a novel way
A Field Study Day at Long-View Micro School gives participants an opportunity to study pedagogy, classroom culture, and content—or envision and clarify the change they seek in their own classrooms. You and your team will be embedded in a Long-View math class and because the assumptions, culture, norms, and content are so different from most classrooms, you’ll have a window into the potential you could elicit should you commit to thinking deeply about these same areas in the classrooms of your school.
Discussions before and after the class observation anchor the PD experience
As we begin the half or full-day Field Study, we’ll start with a pre-brief that overviews Long-View Micro School, including our assumptions about teaching and learning, The Number Lab approach, and lenses with which to view the day’s math class. During class, you’ll observe a Concept Study and/or Thought Exercise, and move around to listen in on kids as they work with partners at whiteboards during Studio. Taking notes or capturing examples of the children’s work via photos is welcomed. After, we’ll debrief and reflections, anecdotal notes, and photo artifacts will drive the rich discussion.
