PIER PROJECT
This project was led by Brad Ermeling (Educational Leadership Program, UCLA).
Project Summary
The PIER model (Plan, Implement, Examine, Revise)
combines elements of Lesson Study (Stigler & Hiebert, 1999) and
Getting Results (Saunders & Goldenberg, in press; Goldenberg,
2004): the result is a high school model of collaborative, systematic
instructional improvement. A two-year case study at Lutheran High
School in Orange County indicated that high school teachers responded
favorably to PIER, and exhibited detectable changes in attitudes and
teaching practices (Ermeling, 2005). The project utilized LessonLab
technology as a catalyst to engage teachers in collaborative teams,
observing classes with digital video and analyzing lessons through
facilitator-guided, web-based tasks. Contact the author above to read a
