Collaborative+Teaching

 =Collaborative Teaching Practice and the History of Mathematics= This project builds upon the model of collaborative teaching practice. This is a practice developed in different countries (most prominently Japan, Hungary, and more recently the United States and England) and sometimes also closely linked and/or referred to as ‘[|lesson study] ’. The collaborative teaching practice in this project is understood as a way of peer-discussion and the collective teaching tool is based on the simple cycle as follows:
 * plan the lesson together, discussing the potential research activities/foci of research


 * do individual research and share responsibilities for producing resources


 * meet or correspond and share the findings of research as well as produced resources


 * teach collaboratively or film the session


 * assess the filmed or observed lessons as a team, adopting certain resources and approaches for further use and/or development, and rejecting others

 The downloads section of this site contains the materials to promote the collaborative teaching practice by structuring it within partnership schools. You may ask to join this site by clicking 'join' at the top of any page, and once your membership is approved you may add documents in the download section.
 * communicate within the project and wider community the reflections on ‘what works’ in the classroom and resources used.
