Japanese Lesson Study

Lessons Learned

● Lesson Study/observation is a great alternative to traditional PD/training○ CRC coordinators had the opportunity to take note of what youth

found engaging and reflect on their own program design/facilitation style

● CRC coordinators were able to evaluate and adopt techniques they found effective

● Debriefing and discussing challenges with educators who have run the same workshop before was a valuable use of time for the CRC coordinators

Lessons Learned

● Modeling is an effective strategy for PD: I DO/WE DO/YOU DO

● Building teacher/educator confidence around learning new technologies is a critical part of any PD
