Abstract
Lesson Study helps to conduct the lesson collaboratively, contributing to the enhancement of teaching and learning. This article focuses on forms of cooperation between teacher educators and teachers as they work to ensure access to quality learning for all school students. Particular attention is paid to the difference between professional collaboration and collaborative professionalism, offering tenets of the latter.
Another question is to involve students in the Lesson Study not only as recipients but also as those who share their vision of educational innovation.
Key words: collaborative professionalism, research lesson, teacher educators
