3 Target of the Project: Respond to the APEC priority area Priority area of the third APEC Education Ministerial Meeting in Chile 2004 Stimulating Learning in Mathematics and Science 1) Improve the quality of Teaching and Learning Mathematics through Lesson Study In Chile, Oct.2007, total 2300 people observed a model of teaching approach at Seven Auditoriums. Plan (Preparing) Do (Observe Lesson) Check (Reflection) ) Action (Improving) 2) Supporting Challenges of Each Economy through Lesson Study

4 Why do we need Lesson Study? We can reform curriculum documents but difficult to implement it. Implementation of Curriculum Standards No reference 7% Knowing the existence only 0% Having an opportunity to read 7% Trying to implement 86% Well implementing 0% Professional Development of In-service Teachers No existence 0% Existence but a few participation 33% Existence 20% Existence and Working 40% Well working 7% 86% of economies have been engaging in movement of Lesson Study for improvement. The Project is: Useful for Improvement of the Quality of Education 100%. Influential to Other Subjects Such As Science 93%. Through Lesson Study, Specialists, including new comers, are working; for Developing Innovative Teaching Approach 93% as a Part of Curriculum Implementation 80% for Curriculum Improvement 80% for Sharing Model of Teaching Approaches 80% for Developing Teachers 80% for Developing Students 80%

5 Project Meeting For Planning (Japan) For Producing (Thailand) Project Framework: APEC Fund and Self Fund APEC grant ($90,000), Thailand ($50,000), Japan ($90,000), USA ($15,000), and other expenses by each economy Products: Textbook Videos Knowledge Bank Wiki from Chalk and Talk Approach to Learner Centered Approach Specialists APEC Each Economy Group of Teachers Group of Teachers Group of Teachers Group of Teachers

6 Products for APEC Lesson Study Project during Reports (proceedings, book, website, and videos) (approx. 20 videos) Developing model of teaching approaches Sharing model of teaching approaches on Knowledge Bank Developing Lesson Study community using website, such as Knowledge Bank and Wiki, and live broadcast via internet

11 Expansion of Lesson Study during To expand to other subjects such as Science and others (e.g., Mathematical science) To encourage successful economy to host Lesson Study workshop for more expansion To share experiences among APEC member economies by using effective means of communication supplementary to books or proceedings Videos on website (e.g., Wiki project), Live broadcasting via internet
