Peg Regan

Peg Regan, a 2018 Vision Fellow, organized and implemented a ‘Master Teacher Institute of Martha’s Vineyard,’ a summer laboratory school for eighth graders and eight to ten teachers that provided an opportunity to work collaboratively through a lesson-study approach to teaching and learning. The core of this model centers on a morning lab school for eighth graders which also provides an incubator for teachers to gather, teach, observe others and design effective instruction methods. This project was in collaboration with the Martha’s Vineyard Public Schools to develop a professional institute to both improve teaching and to interest excellent teachers from off-island to work with our students and faculty.
