'If we had to choose between lesson observations and lesson study, we'd choose lesson study every time' - so says one of the teachers at Fountains Primary School. So what makes the CPD technique, contained within the renewed primary framework, so effective? We follow staff as they undergo their second cycle of lesson study. Initially staff collectively decide a focus for the study. They then split into pairs to have a more specific planning session about the forthcoming lesson observation, followed by interviews with the children and a feedback between themselves. The initial group then come together at the end to discuss their individual findings and to analyse lessons learned.
