This was a great webinar organised by WALS. Such an important and relevant topic too. If you have not watched the presentations, please do so and watch out also for the recording of the Webinar Q&A. Thank you WALS!

Look forward to share this work with a group of Economics teachers next week.

Pleased to see this paper published. tandfonline.com/eprint/NYVDK…

Congratulations on your ordination to the priesthood Fr Alex Chow, my schoolmate, fellow altar server and youth group member. #CatholicChurch #Melbourne

Agree with the researchers from the Uni of Groningen the pivotal role of facilitators. If the facilitator were to focus on student thinking in the post lesson discussion, would this shift teacher talk from superficial to a deeper level of talk? #WALS2021

A very interesting presentation @Melissoto. What I like about this is how you made this virtual lesson study to focus on student thinking using Nearpod as the technological tool. As you pointed out this led to rich discussions on children's mathematical thinking. #WALS2021

First time I've heard of the Jishobiki model. One finding is that the JB model motivated British children who have problems of first language acquisition to learn vocabulary. #WALS2021

Harriet and Jannie from Hong Kong shared how the 5-week PD programme worked. Fascinating to listen to Harriet explaining how they obtained the critical features of the object of learning and applying pattern of variation. It's a very thorough study. I recommend this. #WALS2021

Interesting Q&A. Principals in Kazakhstan attend up to 9 months of lesson study training. Principals in Malaysia may not fully understand what LS is. In Japan, principals support middle level teachers. Sustaining PLCs requires systemic efforts. #WALS2021

Researchers from Universiti Brunei Darussalam reported the existence of a cultural script that hinders the development of teachers' PCK. #WALS2021

An interesting slide. In her keynote, Prof Yuhu Bu talked about the role of the 'backbone teachers'. I see this as distributed leadership that can enhance sustainability of LS in schools. #WALS2021
