LS4VET Project

Teachers' Collaboration through Lesson Study for Improving the Quality of Vocational Education and Training

The LS4VET project aims to adapt the Lesson Study methodology for the sector of VET to achieve deep and sustainable impact – that is, improvement of the quality of education – in VET schools that will apply the method. The Lesson Study approach has been found to be particularly effective because:

  • it is a bottom-up approach of development, where professional development (PD) is done not “to” but “by and with” the teachers;
  • it is job-embedded and focuses on teachers’ real classroom concerns in order to improve student learning through teachers’ learning of new teaching methods and changing their teaching practice; and
  • it involves deep teacher collaboration when teachers actively learn through designing, teaching, evaluating and researching lessons together over an extended period of time.

This is an Erasmus+ project where ITS is one of the Maltese partners, together with Faculty of Education, University of Malta.
