Lesson Study

Lesson Study is a methodology that comes from Japan in which teachers do not work individually they work together in order to create, implement, review, refine, design and assess lessons to their students. When one group of teachers finishes creating and organizing a lesson for a specific topic they share their work to other groups of teacher in order to review them and give feedback to improve the lessons before given to their students. 

This methodology is innovative in order to give students high-quality tasks and lessons. Also I think it will help teachers to develop social skills because they share their knowledge, ideas and beliefs in order to create and refine original lessons to make the teaching learning process more effective.
