Education plays an important role in the development of a nation. Teachers, the main implementer of curriculum at school are subjected to numerous approaches and strategies which have been proven to bring about positive and significant change in students’ academic performance. However, the success of these programs depends on the positive perception of these programs. This study aims to identify how lesson study relates to professional learning community practice in the school. A total of 98 teachers selected via purposive sampling from low performing schools in Sabah. Two scales were adapted from past studies to measure the respondents’ perception about professional learning community and lesson study practices. Data from the questionnaire was analyzed with IBM SPSS 23.0. Findings showed that teachers perceived both professional learning community and lesson study practices highly. Lesson study and professional learning community showed significant positive and strong relationship. This study implied that teachers in low performing school are receptive of these practices and such attitude may contribute to the success of the SISC+ program in these schools. Findings from this study help policy makers and practitioners to plan strategically on the implementation of these practices in schools.

In 2003, I began a longitudinal study into the purpose of education. The process of my investigation included getting involved in new innovations as they were introduced to our school board. As I looked deeper into the purpose of schooling I discovered some startling things about how and why systems of education, through the apparatus of schooling, influence who and what, professionally, people become. I also discovered patterns related to the act of becoming that exist in school reforms. This study analyzes three reforms introduced between 2003 and 2017: Professional Learning Community, Differentiation of Instruction, and Social-Emotional Learning.
