Dear Colleagues,
IMPULS (International Math-teacher Professionalization Using Lesson Study) at Tokyo Gakugei University, Japan, and Lesson Study Alliance, a non-profit corporation in Chicago, USA, are offering the third intensive Lesson Study Immersion Program in Japan in the fall of 2023 due to its popularity. The third session will focus on school and district administrators, instructional coaches, and teachers who extend their Lesson Study to establish school-wide and cross-school Lesson Study networks among their schools.
We can accept only a limited number of participants due to live research lesson observation constraints.
Interested individuals should complete the following application form by September 25, 2023. If your initial application is accepted, we will invite you to submit a formal application to the program.
