Motivated by a recognition that we could all do better if we worked
together, university mathematics education faculty members, mathematics
faculty members and MCCSC
mathematics teachers and administrators were engaged in discussions
of how the three entities might collaborate to improve mathematics
teaching and learning in both institutions under the guidance of
Japanese Lesson Study. The followings were set as the primary
goals of this project:
All members of the partnership
develop richer and deeper understandings of mathematics teaching
and learning;
The classroom practices
of the participants reflect these new understandings; and
A culture of continual
professional development and instructional renewal begins to develop.
