CEMI

Collaboration for Enhancement of Mathematics Instruction (CEMI) project engages teams of secondary mathematics teachers, preservice teachers, mathematicians, and teacher educators in an activity inspired by "lesson study," a form of professional development that is widely used in Japan. Lesson study refers to "lessons that teachers jointly plan, observe and discuss." Study lessons are developed by a team and then taught in regular classrooms and observed by many teachers. This is followed by a public discussion of the lesson.

This partnership involves Indiana University pre-service mathematics teachers, mathematics educators and mathematicians along with secondary mathematics teachers from the school district. Interactions will take place both face-to-face and through the Inquiry Learning Forum (ILF).
