8. Formally sharing the outcomes with other professionals
What works
Arrange an opportunity ahead of the lesson study for the 
group to share with colleagues what they have done, learned 
and refined - especially in the key teaching technique being 
developed. If people know in advance that they will have to 
share their findings with others, then they will bear this in mind 
throughout the proceedings. This helps the lesson study group 
keep their thinking and their findings clear, more useable and
replicable by others.
Video snips of the research lessons and digital photos
embedded in PowerPoint presentations are a popular way of 
conveying lesson practice and processes. (You will need to 
ensure you have a school policy on use of video and photos in 
place).
Arrange opportunities for members of the lesson study
group to work with other teachers in order to help coach the 
pedagogic technique they have evolved, adapted or refined. 
Remember that articulating and explaining practice and 
making it visible to others
(a) helps those learning from their peers improve
their practice
(b) improves the performance of the person doing
the explaining or coaching.
This is because it makes visible what is often tacit knowledge 
of practice - which teachers use but never express. Articulating 
this helps them become more aware of their knowledge 
themselves and therefore more able to improve it further.
Celebrate and value what has been learned and shared.
Create a ‘learning wall’ in the departmental common room 
where a lesson study group can display their work – photos, 
notes, observations, discussion outcomes, pupil interviews and 
tentative conclusions. This creates lots of staffroom talk about 
professional learning long after the formal sharing is over.
Notes
‘Because the typical sort of teacher is extremely busy,
they want to see that what you’re putting forward is going
to be of use to them and so little snippets, with a video is
really helpful for that..’
