2. Getting Lesson Study going

53
 What has worked well
Choose a group of teachers – three works well –
who are likely to enjoy the challenge of starting up a
new professional learning approach in the department. 
Lesson Study works well when there is at least one 
member of the senior team involved and the teachers 
have a mix of teaching experience.
Hold a meeting with them to set out expectations
and ground rules which enable people to feel free to
take risks and not feel they are under scrutiny. In a
lesson study all members of group are of equal
status – as professional learners.
Develop some parameters which are based on
identified school or class / year group needs. (For
example to develop the use of discussion for learning 
in group work sessions). Use common LS formats for 
lesson planning, observation or analysis. (Examples 
you can use are in this booklet)
Give teachers dedicated time (an hour at least) to
plan the first research lesson. Protect their time on 
the day of the research lesson and make sure they can 
have a post lesson discussion immediately or soon 
after carrying out the research lesson. Take an active 
interest in how the process is going. Make sure the 
LS group has dedicated opportunities to share what 
they have developed with other colleagues – a staff 
meeting, a coaching opportunity.
Use these members of the group as lesson study
champions in the faculty to convene and develop the 
next Lesson Study groups.
