Our Best Practice Series of Video Vignettes, focuses on What is Lesson Study: developing the "eyes to see children"?  View lesson study definitions and videos (with scripts and storyboards).

​

Lesson Study is a process where teachers work collaboratively to:
• define attitudes and habits that will help students become "ideal learners."
• analyze student needs and develop lessons and learning environments to meet those needs
• consider long-term goals for students, bring those goals to life in actual "research lessons,"

  and collaboratively observe, discuss, and refine the lessons
• conduct the lesson, with one team member teaching and others gathering evidence on

  student learning and development.
