In 2022-2023, I created a collaborative learning community in each of the four correspondent schools, and I participated online in various Lesson Study classes held by teachers of different subjects. I recorded the videos for further reference in my study.In October 2022, I paid a visit to the schools in Egypt on a two-week business trip. I observed many classes and attended the Lesson Study preliminary sessions and post lesson Reflective sessions held by the teachers. We discussed the current situation of each school and explored new possible ways for effective collaboration between the teachers towards raising the capacity of the teachers with the aim of developing new teaching methods that may involve students more in the classroom and develop their autonomous learning with focus on applying the Tokkatsu concept.I conducted a questionnaire within the four schools. Participation in the questionnaire was voluntary. From this questionnaire, I will collect the data that will help me shape my next steps with the schools.I plan to visit the four schools again in October 2023 to extend our collaboration and invite new participants to deepen the culture of communities of practice and expand the learning communities in each school.
