What do LSF graduates do?
First popularized in Japan, lesson study is a teaching model based on collaboration, student thinking, and learning. Through lesson study, teachers use lessons as a tool to examine and improve their instructional practices to ensure all students receive equitable outcomes.
Although many schools and districts recognize the value of lesson study, most lack the trained personnel needed to implement a sustainable model. With this certificate, however, you can facilitate lesson study for teachers and students across the state.
