5.22 Lesson Study Open House
Posted:
May 6, 2000 8:28 AM

Hello,
I am sending the following announcement as an fyi. I learned from
Catherine Lewis (whose papers can be accessed at http://lessonresearch.net)
that conferences in Japan focus on the observation of actual classroom
lessons, which makes a lot of sense to me. For the last few years, I've
wondered how we can do something similar to their conference in this
country. The convergence of many individuals and organizations sharing the
same goal of improving mathematics learning opportunities for both students
and teachers makes it possible for me to share the following announcement.
The leaders of this effort are the principal and teachers of Paterson
School Number 2.
