Abstract
This report highlights the major findings of a two-year CRPP-funded intervention project in which researchers worked closely with a primary school to introduce Lesson Study as a tool for teacher learning and community building. The findings are presented through a survey study of teachers' perception of Lesson Study; two case studies of the knowledge construction and community building processes in two sampled Lesson Study teams, one in English Language and one in Mathematics and a methodological exploration that attempted to represent the instructional improvement in four mathematics research lessons from both quantitative and qualitative perspectives. A video case intended to be used as a tool to support teacher development was developed to document the learning of a mathematics topic through the experience of a Lesson Study team. Its components and development process are also illustrated.
