This report is part of a larger study concerning teachers’ beliefs towards public lessons and their effectiveness on professional development (PD) in China. Despite being a major form of PD, most public lessons resemble shows, in which teachers put up their best performances. As a result, not much PD may take place for the teacher and observers. The study concluded with implications for enhancing PD through a better design and assessment of public lessons.
