Target of the Project: Respond to the APEC priority area Priority area of the third APEC Education Ministerial Meeting in Chile 2004 “Stimulating Learning in Mathematics and Science”. 2) Supporting Challenges of Each Economy through Lesson Study In Chile, Oct.2007, total 2300 people observed a model of teaching approach at Seven Auditoriums Plan (Preparing) →Do (Observe Lesson) → Check (Reflection))→ Action (Improving) → Check (Reflection) )→ Action (Improving) 1) Improve the quality of Teaching and Learning Mathematics through Lesson Study

Why do we need Lesson Study? We can reform curriculum documents but difficult to implement it.

The Project is: Useful for Improvement of the Quality of Education 100%. Influential to Other Subjects Such As Science 93%. Through Lesson Study, Specialists, including new comers, are working; for Developing Innovative Teaching Approach for Developing Innovative Teaching Approach → 93% Curriculum Implementation as a Part of Curriculum Implementation → 80% Curriculum Improvement for Curriculum Improvement → 80% Sharing Model for Sharing Model of Teaching Approaches → 80% Developing Teachers for Developing Teachers → 80% Developing Students for Developing Students → 80%

APEC Project Framework: APEC Fund and Self Fund APEC grant ($90,000), Thailand ($50,000), Japan ($90,000), USA ($15,000), and other expenses by each economy Project Meeting For Planning (Japan) For Producing (Thailand) Each Economy Specialists Group of Teachers Products: Textbook Videos Knowledge Bank Wiki from Chalk and Talk Approach to Learner Centered Approach
