In this article by Carsten Könneker, educational researcher Miriam Vock and school principal Volker Franken explain in a joint interview how self-directed learning and talent development can succeed despite rigid structures.

The German School Portal observed a lesson at a primary school in Hamburg where the “Lesson Study” method was being trialed. The article describes a visit to a school that turns the classroom into a thinking workshop.

In an interview with the editorial team at Campus Schulmanagement, Prof. Dr. Miriam Vock explains what results can be expected from Lesson Study—and how school administrators can support the success of this approach.

Matthias Zimmermann asks Miriam Vock, Klara Kager, Swantje Bolli, Julian Bucher, and Anne Jurczok 10 questions about the Lesson Study board game. The format “Ten Questions for a Game” opens the door to the Potsdam University Press and regularly presents new publications. This interview gets to the heart of some fundamental questions.

School principal Kathrin Obenhaus and Prof. Miriam Vock discuss how learners benefit from the Lesson Study method, while teamwork simultaneously reduces the workload for teachers.
