I have since read "The Teaching Gap" and also attended the Open House at the Japanese School in Greenwich, Connecticut which was set up by Dr. Clea Fernandez at Columbia Teacher's College. A group at my high school started a lesson study in mathematics last year. We had a diverse group of 5 teachers - from NBCT to new student teachers. It took us a while to get started, but we began to make some progress by the end of the year. Unfortunately, we have no extra funding, so we only met about \twice per month for one hour. Due to issues of state standards, we decided to focus our efforts on developing performance assessments to meet our state standards, and instruction which will support students reaching these standards. I would be very interested in discussing others' experience in this area. (One thing I found interesting at the Open House was in response to my question about the use of lesson study in high school classes in Japan, they said that everyone was too focused on tests, and that it was rarely used.
