    PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

    LESSON STUDY

    Lesson study is a professional development process that is found in Japan. In this study, teachers are engaged into systematical examination of their practice to become more effective educators. “Study Lessons” are being worked collaboratively by the teachers with the help of our academic coaches who act as outside advisors. There are four stages of the study lessons: planning, teaching, observing, and critiquing the lessons.  Diversity of the teachers in terms of grade levels and interest areas provide a rich perspective to the activities of the lesson study.

    According to the CPALMS.org of FSU; Teachers who participate in purposeful lesson study become more proficient at:

    • Thinking systematically about student learning goals
    • Using data to identify problem areas in the teaching and learning of their subjects
    • Deepening their understanding of content and pedagogy related to their subjects
    • Collaborating in unit and lesson planning to implement new strategies and techniques
    • Studying student product and reflecting on instruction and activities in accordance with the learning needs of the students
