Lesson Study (LS) is the fastest growing approach to teacher learning. It develops teaching which in return, improves pupil learning.) It has helped teachers, leaders, schools and colleges modify their practices in order to afford more learning. Lesson Study, since being introduced in the late 1990’s has spread around the world and is now considered the teacher development model in several high profile programmes across a number of teaching schools, their alliances, teacher training programmes and higher degrees. (Dudley . 2015. p.4-14). Lesson study must then be a very modern and effective way of pupil learning.

To be so, I will have to have an open mind with a great awareness to understand my class and each pupil in it. I can maybe start by committing a few days in a week in getting to know each of my pupils, which could maybe be 2 to 3 pupils in a day.

Another classroom management strategy that I would like to adapt from my teaching practice is the rotational seating arrangements. Monthly or when necessary, the seating plan of the pupils is changed, planned in such a way that can be beneficial to their learning and personality similarities/differences.
There are other several new learning I gained during my teaching practice experience. A teacher must invest on much time, thought and preparation in order to make a class curriculum work. It is not an easy task. One has to assess and evaluate, then collaborate with co-teachers in order to use effective ways of learning.
