A Plan for Carrying Out a Lesson Study Based on the Impact of Teaching Assistants in School
1.0 Introduction
Teaching is a noble profession that needs different tactics to make it useful. Teachers, teaching assistants, and other stakeholders in the profession often consult on the best way to ensure that students get the most out of a teaching session. They do this through planning and lesson studies and using teaching assistants (Kang et al. 2015, p 685). A lesson study is a process of teaching improvement that involves teachers' collaboration in small groups where they meet to discuss the goals of learning and plan for the classroom lessons. Therefore, it is a professional learning technique that concentrates on learning, and the progress students make while teachers develop the best strategies to perfect a specific learning area. It involves observing how ideas work in a live classroom session with students and reporting the outcome for other teachers (Lusher et al. 2018). Teaching assistants, on the other hand, help teachers in teaching processes. They are undergraduate students, graduate students, secondary school students, and even elementary school teaching assistants.
