What is "lesson study?"

Lesson Study is a constructivist professional development model that is:

  • Teacher-directed
  • Classroom-based
  • Collaborative in nature
  • Child-centered
  • Research-based
  • Data-driven
  • Goal-oriented
  • Relevant, "real-time" study of students

This powerful professional model gives us, as teachers, the ability to continually update and improve our instructional practice. This model by its very nature promotes excellence in teaching and learning and reminds us of why we became teachers in the first place.
  

If you are interested in starting or participating in a lesson study group, contact Beth Clifford at elizabeth.clifford@lrsd.org.
