Lesson Study in Japan

Teachers think about their students and identify important gaps between the aspirations they have for them and the results that they are actually achieving with these students.

Example of a goal statement: Promoting students' ability to think autonomously, invent, and learn from each other while focusing on problem solving in Mathematics.

Makoto Yoshida Overview of Lesson Study

Research and preparation: The teachers jointly draw up a detailed plan for the study lesson. Implementation: A teacher teaches the “study lesson” in a real classroom, while other group members look on. Reflection and improvement: The group comes together to discuss the instruction witnessed and what it taught them about the goal they set out to explore.

After the Lesson Study

Lesson Study in China

Lesson Study at New Kings School

Lesson study is • Joint planning, teaching/observation, analysis-refine • Case pupils • Development of teaching through obs + talk • LS group protocol – reciprocal vulnerability • Research Lesson • Post lesson discussion and next plan • After 3 research lessons there is something to share with others

Discussion Task

What are your current school attitudes towards observation? How would your teachers respond to a Lesson Study being carried out in their classroom? What would need to change about how we view lesson observations in your school to make Lesson Study effective?

Future Implementation of Lesson Study at New Kings School

- Challenges and outcomes from the project

- Impact upon the whole school teaching

- Expansion of Lesson Study across other year groups and subjects
