Questions and Answers

After reading the articles on Lesson Study in Japan, I became curious about how this might work in the United States. From the articles it seems that this is very successful in the elementary classes and middle school classes. There were no articles about how this might work in the high school setting. This is what my question was then, How would lesson study work in the United States? First, I believe that this would work in the high school in the United States, however, I think it might take some work to get students to buy into this type of delivery. High school students might be used to a traditional style of teaching and not accept lesson study. I think that if a school were to start students in Kindergarten and continue to teach lesson study through out their school time, lesson study would be successful. I am sure that it would work with out applying something like this, but a great opportunity to research is there for someone.
