Classrooms are busy places. Teachers make up to 30 per cent more decisions in their lives than other professionals. Alone in their classroom, a teacher may see only five per cent of pupil interactions. Networked Research Lesson Study (RLS) helps slow lessons down. You can see much more. You can improve, innovate and transfer practice more effectively.

This very useful resource is a step-by-step guide to undertaking successful RLS in collaborative networks or clusters. It shows leaders how to plan RLS in order to improve, innovate and transfer practice more effectively.

Some parts of the document are more accessible than others, but the RLS process lends itself to cross-school and cross-phase working and has been found to help teachers at all stages of professional development to see things differently, solve classroom problems and raise standards of teaching, learning and achievement. The document includes snapshots of practice together with development tools and templates.
