Lesson Study is collaborative. It will get you working with other teachers. As a teacher, you will not be as isolated, you will receive and give feedback, and finally have your fellow professionals to bounce back ideas.
2. Lesson Study requires teachers to be open and receive judgement and criticism...all for the betterment of your instruction and the learning of your students. This involves taking risks with your lessons and allowing yourself to be vulnerable for constructive criticism.
3. Lesson Study requires teachers to make time for it. The outcomes of Lesson Study only happen when teachers deliberately set out time to collaborate. ]]> 2021-01-20 04:33:39 UTC https://padlet.com/kristinafalbe/8ozldsjtz06t5fsg/wish/1104123469 Scott Storiz sjstoriz https://padlet.com/kristinafalbe/8ozldsjtz06t5fsg/wish/1104141188 We have read these two chapters and it talks a lot about what Lesson Study is, but what does it look like?

It answered the question I posed in the question column precisely. I wanted to know what lesson study actually looked like, per my lengthy question. It is when teachers observe other teachers and their students to better improve the lesson and the delivery of the lesson, as well as having a time set out for collaboration between a group of teachers. ]]> 2021-01-20 04:56:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kristinafalbe/8ozldsjtz06t5fsg/wish/1104163650
