Project for International Math-teacher Professionalization Using Lesson Study at Tokyo Gakugei University

※    Formal name of this project;
Establishing teacher development systems for long-term, independent educational improvement in mathematics instruction

Project IMPLUS is initially funded by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science & Technology of Japan.( The Project is housed in the Mathematics Education Department of Tokyo Gakugei University, Tokyo, Japan. )

A unique feature of Japanese Lesson Study is the way it enables teachers to improve continuously through collaboration with their colleagues. As an international center of Lesson Study in mathematics, Tokyo Gakugei University and its network of laboratory schools will help teacher professionals from throughout the region learn about lesson study and will thereby prepare them to create in their own countries’ systems for long-term, independent educational improvement in mathematics teaching.

Period of this project is April 2011 to March 2017 (6 years in total).
