Roles and Effectiveness of K-16 STEM Educators
Using Japanese Lesson Study to Improve Integration of Math and Science in Elementary Schools
The DeKalb County School System began a pilot program implementing Japanese Lesson Study to improve integration of math and science in Elementary Schools. Using the Lesson Study model, teachers presented lessons that integrated math and science. After 6 months, teachers' evaluation of their implementation of math and science integration went from 3.4 to 7.4 on a scale of 1 to 10, indicating that the Lesson Study process was having a positive impact in the classroom. This session will present findings and implementation strategies.
