Addressing the issues…..
.
Our Ascend Aim!
Closing the Gap between
PP6 and non PP6 pupils
by improving the quality
of teaching
in English/Maths
Adressing the issues…
1. Each lesson study teacher in the trio focusses
on 3 -4 PP6 /underachieving pupils in the focus
Engage in lesson study research lessons to:
Find out what their barriers to learning are
Develop new teaching strategies and resources
to break down the barriers and enable them to
make accelerated progress.
Improve Project delivery
 What would improve the planning and delivery of
lesson study? E.g. time is needed and when, focus and
quality of discussion?
 What would improve the evaluation process?
Improve knowledge mobilisation
How can we share what we are
learning , teacher subject
knowledge, new teaching strategies
and resources?
Key Objective
 Problem statement
 Key ideas
 Potential solutions
 Draft Action plan
Next steps How do we mobilise
this knowledge so that we can
learn from each other?

1. Where the key clips from captured Star Lesson videos are stored.
2. These key clips can be collaborated around regardless of geographical
location.
3. The resulting video blogs will provide evidence of project
effectiveness.
Headteachers say:
 Quality of peer discussion and focus on
specifics of individual students’
learning is a key change to the
professional learning culture (fits in
well with new Ofsted focus on learning
too)
How can we set up systems and
routines that support this type of
learning in our schools so that it is
everyday business?
Lesson Study is the tool
Impact!
