Lesson Study as evidence-based teacher collaboration and enquiry

This chapter introduces LS and its international and local development in the UK over the last two decades. It draws on international evidence to illustrate the impact of LS on teacher and pupil learning outcomes. It discusses from a theoretical perspective what and how learning occurs in a LS context and exemplifies learning through illustrations drawn from China and UK LS settings. The chapter ends with practical recommendations for practitioners, school leaders, and network facilitators who intend to embed LS in their practice contexts.
