As opposed to common workshops  Legitimizes the work that teachers do in classrooms  Professional development is student-centered  Promotes close examination of practice as the underlining basis for professional development  Encourages the creation of relationships and true collaboration with peers. (It builds capacity ) Benefits of Lesson Study

After this study the teachers come together as a team in order to create a detailed plan for the research lesson. Implementation: A teacher teaches the research lesson in a classroom with students while other group members observe and gather student data related to learning goals. Reflection: The group comes together to discuss their observations of the lesson, the data collected and the student learning that took place. Overview

Improvement: Using the data that the team has collected, the team makes the appropriate corrections to the research lesson. Second implementation and reflection: Another teacher teaches the research lesson in a second classroom while group members observe; this is followed by the group coming together again to discuss the data and student learning.

The lesson plan supports the lesson study process, by serving as a : Teaching tool--it provides a script for the activities of the lesson. Communication tool--it conveys to others the thinking of the teachers who planned the lesson. Observation tool--it provides guidelines for what to look for in the lesson, and a place for the observers to record and share these observations. Lesson Plan is the backbone of lesson study!!

 All team members (required)  Knowledgeable Others  Your Principal  Your Superintendent  Other Teachers  School Board Members  Hints for the observers:  Observe the students, not the teacher!  This is not YOUR lesson, it is the TEAM’S lesson.  Observers should take notes, but should not interfere in the lesson or provide assistance.  Link your observations to lesson goals. Who should be invited to observe?

 The facilitator begins the session with the teacher who taught the lesson, followed by team members and then observers.  The teacher should describe the goals for the lesson, then comment on what went well, and the difficulties and learning's from planning and teaching the lesson.  Team members should also address goals and speak to instructional decisions.  Team members followed by other observers should present and discuss the student data collected.
