The Visual Lesson Study website was designed as part of a pilot program for teacher Professional Development. Based on the Japanese lesson study model, the project allowed teachers to view video segments from the classroom implementation of a lesson in Economics. The unit focused on an exploration of the California power crisis and the Enron Corporation’s involvement.

We edited classroom footage to include a searchable text track and delivered the segments on a web page. The teachers involved in the study were able to easily navigate and review their peers’ teaching and then engage them in discussion.  http://www.learninginnovations.us/ls/index.html
