Leading Lesson Study In Your School

As a school leader, you invest significantly in professional development — yet too often, the impact fades once the training ends. Teachers return to their classrooms motivated, but without the structures needed to transform insights into sustained change. Lesson Study offers a proven alternative: PD that is collaborative, classroom-centred, and powerful enough to shift practice over time. Originally developed in Japan and now used worldwide, Lesson Study has been linked to high student achievement because it focuses on what truly matters: understanding how students learn. Teachers co-plan a research lesson, test it in a real classroom, observe student thinking closely, and reflect on what their instructional choices produced. This cycle gives teachers the evidence they need to refine practice with confidence and precision. Why leaders choose Lesson Study ◾Lesson Study builds the kind of internal capacity schools strive for. It strengthens professional dialogue, reduces teacher isolation, and promotes consistent pedagogy across teams. Schools that adopt Lesson Study report clearer alignment with whole-school priorities, deeper insights into student understanding, and a more collaborative, inquiry-driven culture. It is one of the most cost-effective and sustainable PD models available. ◾This programme provides everything your staff need to implement the approach successfully: a practical introduction, a guided process for leading Lesson Study with small teams, and a complete handbook with tools, templates, and protocols for scaling the model school-wide. Teachers leave with a repeatable, evidence-based framework they can use long after the training ends.
