Following a 43 year career as a teacher, headteacher and national and local authority school improvement leader, Jean is now concentrating her work in leading the development of Lesson Study nationally and internationally.
Jean has worked closely with Pete Dudley to introduce Lesson Study in the UK through the National Strategies Leading Teaching programme, the LSUK website and as a member of the Council of the World Association of Lesson Studies (WALS). She is currently the Honorary General Secretary of WALS and regularly collaborates with colleagues in the UK, Singapore, Japan, Indonesia and the USA to promote and support the use of LS. She has presented at WALS conferences in Indonesia, Sweden, Exeter and Japan.
From 2013-2017 Jean co-led a large and very successful LS project across 90 London schools which has created a learning community of committed leaders and teachers who have established the routines to ensure that LS remains the preferred method of continual professional development and learning now and into the future. More information about this project can be found on this site here.
Jean in now based in the North of England and is available to support individual and groups of schools to introduce and establish Lesson Study. In the coming year (2018-19) she is hoping to develop LS hubs across the North including in Liverpool where she has recently supported a very successful project led by Liverpool John Moores University.
