LESSON STUDY – User Manual

Lesson Study is a form of classroom inquiry in which several teachers collaboratively plan, teach, observe, revise and share the results of a single class lesson.

Members of the lesson study consists of:

  • the presenter (teacher (s) involved in the teaching & learning process)
