Collaborative
Lesson Study
Malta
Promotion
CLeStuM is committed to promote lesson study in Malta. Towards this end, we organise meetings with school leadership teams, teachers, policy makers and university colleagues. As a result of these meetings, up to 2019, ten Maltese schools (from both the state and non-state sectors) implemented lesson study. In three of these schools, lesson study has been going on for the past two years.
Some of our promotion events are listed below:
